Comments: 
        This was a great contest! SS CW has always been one of my 
favorites. There was lots of activity and with lots of good operators.
I sure wish some folks would learn what CK? or PREC? Some would send
anything but what I was looking for. :-) 
        Conditions I thought were great. 40M was the big band followed
by 20 and 80M. 15M was in good shape but I didn't spend much time there
as I knew that I would get broader geographic coverage on 20 or 40M. 
        Was surprised when I was called by KL7HKX at 0523z on 80M. 
When the rate slowed a bit on 20M I decided to S&P and quickly found
Jack, KH6/W1WEF at 1923z. Soon I found KP4TK cq'ing on 15m on the second
radio (1934z). I dropped down to 40m and VE2ZP called me at 2001z (giving
me #4 Q). Later I was on 20M and could hear a racket just below my cq'ing
qrg. I tuned down to check it out and found a monstrous pileup on N7NG
(WY). He was booming in at 30/9. I called a couple of times and no luck.
Someone said "up". I listened up and Vic, K9UIY, was working him. Dumped
it in and got the sweep. 
        I used 2 radios and had one radio in each ear. I never get 
headaches but I sure got a bad one last Sunday and I'm sure it's due to
having one radio in each ear. Will have to come up with a better 
switching system that will have one radio at a time in both ears. 
Anyone have a good switching system they would like to share with me?
        After operating CQWW SSB ( I hate SSB but I love contesting ),
I was really psyched for a good CW contest and this was it. I really 
pushed and it paid off. This is the best score for me in SS CW. 
        Was nice to see all the guys who have been operating this 
contest for a real long time. This is the only contest I wish we could
all use our old 1X3 callsigns. It brings back a lot of memories when
I hear K0VBU, K0LUZ, K7DBV, K9UIY, W5MYA, etc., etc.
        Congrats to WD0T (at W0SD) and KR0Y on the great scores. 
        Thanks to all for the Q's.
