Comments:

Started out slow waiting almost 4 minutes for a reply to my CQ but the tempo
picked up quickly.  I always run Unlimited to be able to use Skimmer on
radio 2 to assist with mults which also worked well.  In just 3 hours and 20
minutes the sweep was completed. Rhode Island was the last mult which was
checked off with a Q with W1XX.

When I shut down at 0519 UTC or 0119 local, before time change, I was just
about tied with last year.  That was soon to change.  At 1145 or 0645 local
I was back on the air.  Well, until we noticed that the house was not
warming up.
So, off I went to try to diagnose the issue.  No luck so a call to the
Heating Company was in order.  They responded in about 1 hour for relatively
expensive weekend rate, but it was fixed in about 1 more hour.  With that
problem behind me I got back to the radio.

I stayed on until 2224 UTC and then called it quits.  I just can't keep my
butt in the chair with the Sunday afternoon rates, even when running
Unlimited and 2 radios.  Besides, it was cocktail time!

See you in two weeks for SS SSB.
