I posted this a few days ago but apparently it didn't go through.

I was in and out of the SSB contest over the past weekend.  I operated S&P mode since I have an awful time with accents, splatter, and way too much compression from the DX stations. Since everyone is looking for the US, I found it easy to just keep tuning and picking off stations.

Here are my totals for 11.4 hours of operation.  I had a goal of 400 QSOs as I got near 400.  When I saw that I was closing in on last year's total I pushed on to beat it with 430 QSOs.

 Band     QSOs     Pts  Cty  Pt/Q
           7      52     156   34   3.0
          14      87     261   50   3.0
          21     133     399   69   3.0
          28     158     474   64   3.0
       Total     430    1290  217   3.0


            Score : 279,930
              Rig : K3 + KPA500

         Antennas : 6BTV Vertical, 15-meter vertical dipole
