I logged the old fashioned way, so these are the rough numbers.
WX9E CW only
1352 QSOs (un-duped) 4240 points 85 zones 35 HQ
23 hours operating.... took the last 30 min off to nap before the
drive back to Chicago. Misc fridge raids and bathroom trips
account for the other 30+ min.
Pleased with the Q total, didn't do enough mult hunting. 3.14
points per Q average is rather disappointing. Zero Europe on 80m thanks to
static and rain noise all night. Highest rate...
107 on 20m 6 hours before the contest.... wide open to UA/EU/AF.... better
than during the test! Worked lots of good
stuff that didn't call in. Hope I make top ten.

Natan - The condix on 10 and 15 are due to summer Es, which, if anything,
is inversely related to the sunspot cycle.
