QRM: Fell short of my score goal to go beyond the 1997 W/VE SO LP 
     Leader (WA4ZXA 819,534); 114 more Qs (w/o more Ms) would've
     helped.  Perhaps the goal would've been reached had I played
     (sat in the chair) longer.  This is my second SO LP AB 
     effort in this event.  Fortunately, compared to last year, 
     there was only a threat of inclement weather and this was 
     near the end of the game; but wasn't enough to shut down.  
     As a result, this game was much more fun than last year's.  
     Returning to the W/VE Top Ten Box will be icing on the cake.      
     TU to the 887 DX stations who worked Wo4o!  It was FUN!
