Soapbox:

A super THANK YOU to Larry, W2AX, for the use of his fantastic
station and hospitality. I was heading to his Vermont QTH to help him do some
work on an internet remote project, and thought the SS weekend
would be a good time to be there!  I was right.  I was thinking
of going SO/Unlimited, but heck, with a good signal you don't need
packet to get a sweep!  As usual for the east coast, 80/40m were the
production bands.  I was a little worried about my last two
sections, NL and PAC, but Gus, VO1MP called me while running.
I heard a PAC station calling in a VY1 pileup, told him to 
QSY after his Q and that was the sweep.  (Sweep by 11:30
am Sunday). Of course, I worked another 5 or 6 stations 
in both sections after that!  There was good representation 
from all sections this contest.  I was a bit frustrated to come so close to 
the all time Vermont record, but those Qs get very slow 
at the end of the contest.  I took 3-1/2 hours off from 3-6:30 am and
the rest at the end of the contest. (had to drive back home!)

73,

-Gerry, W1VE/VE1RM
