Conditions were atrocious on Saturday afternoon.  Very depressing QSO rates.  Sunday was somewhat better, but 40M still seemed flat.  Overall I am pleased with the final tally considering the poor condx.  Many thanks to the organizers, mobiles, rovers, portables, and all the out of Staters (I heard some very impressive QSO totals) who make this my favorite operating event of the entire year, bar none.  Missed FUL & MTR for the county sweep, and a ton of ARRL sections.  CU all next year!
