Comments:
A DIFFERENT CQP.
I started with two objectives. 
1. W6SX Prime Directive.
2. 1000 QSOs.
I wasn't expecting much considering how conditions have been lately. 
I made 1000 Qs Saturday and went to bed at 2230. Slept in until 0730.
Got on twenty CW and was pleasantly surprised. Ran for an hour with decent
rate. Then I ate breakfast followed by an hour constitutional with Sunshine
Rhonda. 
The rest of Sunday, switching back and forth between CW and SSB, I got on and
ran until it got boring and/or painful. Then I took a break. 
Turned out to be a fun approach. In the past, I've operated the whole
twenty-four hours, and Sunday was always a drag. This time, taking lots of
breaks, I was able to keep the rate decent. AND, I think I probably worked
almost as many stations as if I had BIC'd. 
It was very nice to have so many Europeans call in on twenty, both Saturday and
Sunday. 
My first CQP sweep in thirty-nine years of trying. 
A fun weekend.
