[PaQSO] Sweep on CW?

[Eric Tichansky NO3M]

I think it's possible, but only probable by following mobiles 
around while constantly CQing (a must to snag the search and 
pouncers, of which there were a few for new counties, eg. MOE on 
Sunday morning while CQing on 40M).  There were also several 
counties I only had QSOs w/ mobiles or rovers (FAY, BED, CLI, 
etc).  I ended up w/ 64 running CW only this year, missing POT, 
SUL, and BRA.  To date, that's the best I've been able to rack 
up.  Apparently K3CC was on 40CW for 8 QSOs, but missed him.  I 
never heard anyone in SUL or BRA, not even S&P.  However, last 
year, I had both SUL and BRA, but not POT, so it seems like POT 
is one of the rarer ones on CW.
