> Well that that was a fun one.  Conditions on all bands were great from here in
> NC. This added up to my best score ever for this contest.  First time breaking
> 2M points in a single op.  I almost quit at 1000 Q's Sunday around 1pm.  The
> rates dropped off and I was getting bored.  I decided to push a little longer. 
> Moved to 20m since it had the least Q's of the high bands.  Found a spot
> somewhat high in the band and the Q's just kept coming at a pretty regular clip
> till the end.  I moved to 40m with about 45 minutes left.  2M points looked like
> a long shot.  Then several mults called and it was starting look promising.  10
> minutes left and I needed a couple mults and/or some more Europeans.  So, kept a
> run frequency and really hunted for the last few workable mults on the high
> bands that I could snag on second radio. Got the mult I needed that pushed me
> over the 2M mark with 2 minutes to spare. Then tried to work a few more
> insurance Q's.  The very last was with WY8DX and he was a mult raced as best I
> could to log it before the buzzer.  But, looks like the clock may have rolled
> over before I got that final serial number entered.  
> 
> I want to thank everyone that called and got into my log.  Special thanks to the
> local PVRC guys that called W4BBT, N4CW(QRP), NC4SW and N4NTO(near the buzzer). 
> Plus a shout out to the Contest Online Scoreboard for providing some incentive
> trying to keep pace with a few other stations chasing the 2M mark.
