     Comments:
     20 was real good, but activity played out before the band did. My
     segue to 40 was early and took time to get going. The seque to 80 was
     awful. I got beat out on almost every call. I worked every mult I heard,
     but didn't hear VE4, MT, ID, RI, ME, VT, or NM!

     I'm surprised at how many very well known contesters still don't have
     the exchange down. Putting your call at the end of the exchange when it
     is your turn to QSY results in confusion. I know I caused a few requests
     for QSO number repeats after throwing my call in when an exchange ended
     with a callsign, but should have ended with the QTH.
