Always enjoy this contest. I can't thank the mobile and rover stations
enough for
going to those rare counties to help us out. Thanks to them, and those who
worked the weekend from remote counties, I was able to work my first clean
sweep
in the PAQP and it happened before 3:00 pm. I generally S&P contests but
got brave and was running CW and SSB this contest. It was strange that Bud
actually called me for a QSO this afternoon on 20 meters. Maybe I'll have
more confidence to run a frequency again in a future contest.

The band conditions may not have been the best, but it was a good time as
every
year is. Below is my score which includes 5 qso's with the bonus station.

Band CW Qs Ph Qs

10: 1 1
6: 1 1
