Wow. Great numbers in spite of the propagation conditions.

I ended up spending more time than I expected in this contest, but it worked
out really well due to the fact that it is mostly a domestic contest in
these low sunspot years, and that, even with low power, I'm able to run
stations at a pretty good clip at certain times/bands.  Low antennas are
generally quite good for working stateside, and that's what I've got!  40
and 20 were the money bands this time, with 15 good for finding DX
multipliers from EU and SA, but only 4 states/provinces.  80 (no antenna)
and 10 (bad propagation) contributed little, just a few multipliers here and
there.

Not much good stuff worked - nothing to add to my TVARC DXCC, and just two
states for WAS - no JA or other Asians heard, and no Pacific stations worked
except for one weak Hawaiian.  A couple of VKs ignored me when I called.

Thanks to ND4G and K2TE for the QSOs, but in retrospect I should have tried
to move them to 80 and 10M for the FL multiplier.

I entered the Classic category - single op, no assistance, and max 24 hours,
so got to watch Penn State and the Philadelphia Eagles in their stirring
victories, played pickleball, and even went shopping with the XYL!
