Comments:

What fun! Who would have thought you could work 90% of WAS in an off 
and on bit  of radio play during an in-state QSO party? Worked all 
states but DE, LA, HI, NV and SD. Called CQ for 90% of the QSOs. Total 
of about 9 hours in the chair - some of this was calling CQ with no 
takers.

Band conditions seemed to be a bit poor. Nothing happening on 15m from 
here, although I heard K4EA working stations there, I couldn't get 
anything going. 20m was short early on Saturday, but then went long. 
40m was the big money band -- and I don't even have a good antenna on 
this band.  Got on 80m late Saturday, but the band seemed abandoned.

Noticed after the contest that I was spotted a few times on the 
cluster. Thanks guys.

Best moment was working S51CK -- he was calling CQ Georgia QSO Party on 
20m. Oh, and HK3JJH called in three different times! That guy was 
everywhere.

A couple of guys asked me to go to CW, but I was doing Phone-only. Now 
I realise there's no category for phone-only. Doh! Next time.

For a short while on 40m, NJ8J and I were just a couple of kilohertz 
apart on 40m.

Missed KU8E/M and W4AN, but worked K4BAI before they started the rover. 
I'm guessing Jeff just wasn't on phone much.
