Comments:

As others have pointed out, the sleepy little backwater called unlimited
category seems to be waking up - causing amazing packet pileups at the
end.
I didn't get the sweep until fairly late - missing AK the first night
due to
the poor 20M antenna situation here.  ID seemed to be MIA the first day
as
well, but I worked three of them the second day.  Meanwhile, a packet
review
tells me they were there on day 1 - so where was I?  Getting a sweep
seems like a different mystery each year. 

The bands sounded really FB except 80 had plenty of QRN to the West the
second night from a wx front out by Texas.  Courtesy seemed at an all
time high as did activity.  As usual, 15 was not productive from here -
SS from the East Coast is a low band activity until the sunspots return.
Congrats to those 1300+ Q folks - how do you do that?

2X: FT-1000MP+Inrad & ACOM 2000A; Homebrew SO2R, Writelog, Wires in the
woods.
