Time: 21.5 hours.

Didn't get much precontest rest so wimped out on the time. Believe full time
would have hit 1000 Q's, but even so a personal best. Was there anyone from
NT or AK in the contest? I sure looked for them. First time SO2R and it made
a big difference even though I didn't really get the hang of it until late
Sunday. The main purpose of the second radio is to give the op something to
do so he can let the run radio run. Previous contests with one radio I got
so bored with running I went S&P just to stay awake!  What happened to the
propagation at about 1700Z?? I just quit for a couple hours and when I came
back it was OK.
