Soapbox: Since I missed this one last year, so I decided to get my butt
in the chair and do a full 30 hours this year.  I was rewarded with my
best ever effort in this contest and my first time past a million points
(assuming my error rate isn't too high).

Conditions were good on the whole, but there were certainly some strange
times in terms of level of activity or my off periods were badly timed.
This first half by far the most active.  I thought I might have made a
1,000 Qs based on the early rates, but that goal was obviously not going
to be achieved based on the second half level of activity.

10 and 15 were the most productive and for some reason, likely bad timing,
20 was tough to get any serious level of running going, especially the
second day.  With the high bands being in such good shape, I only spend a
couple of hours on the low bands, mostly trying to improve on the mult
count.

Thanks to the team at BARTG for their ongoing efforts in this event.  As
always THANKS to the many stations - familiar and new - for dropping by
and exchanging a few Q's
