We ended up with 80 grids on 6m. The main goal was to get CN78 on the air, 
then we went to CN88 and CN79. 100W into 5el.
I was neglecting the higher bands due to 6m being open. About 30,000 points 
or so is the total. Rookie VA7GNR was trampling the snow with me in CN78.
Had a ball, it's really cool to work DX stations on 6m from more than one 
grid.
Hopefully the snow will be gone from our regular mountaintop in CN88bv for 
the CQ-WW-VHF, although it was just announced that the nearby ski hill will 
be open for business on Canada Day for the first time ever.
