Fantastic, Pete.  Over 1K QSOs and 1M points.  Absolutely fantastic!

We were in CT with family for the holiday so my ops were mostly limited to late at night when the kids were asleep.  Still, it was great fun, and such a treat to observe wall-to-wall signals on 10M during daylight.  I noticed on 20M that some contesters moved well up the band, past FT4/FT8 to find a clear frequency.  It was that crowded.  I did run a bit on 40M the last hour, but 90% of my effort was S&P.  Things will only get better the next couple of years, and yes, the 10M contest in two weeks should be a real blast.  

Again, congrats on your terrific score.

73,

But things didn’t start out so well – just before the contest I decided I needed to straighten out one of the legs to my 40m inverted vee which seemed to be caught up in a pretty dense Sylvester palm.  So I got out the ladder and started trimming and uh oh!  Yeah, I cut the wire too!  Not happy.  But I got it fixed and managed to get everything back up and running OK in time.

Switched to 15 at around 7a local, and had a great run there, working 100 stations in about 90 minutes starting at 730a.  Really nice to have 10 open too, so had to keep deciding where to be for the best QSO rate.  Used to be so easy – 20 was it during the daytime – but not now.  And it figures to get even better.
