Well,Steve, you beat me!
I actually seemed to have a bit more luck with S and P than c q ing. ... I
suspect that might have been partly due to my location, and partly because
people may have been more prone to answer DX CQ's, than a CQ from some lowly
guy in Central Lower Michigan.
Nevertheless, it was fun.
Looking forward to the North American QSO Parties and 160 meter contest in
January.
Don't know if I'll get to the Stu Perry contest in late December or not.
Depends on whether we make a trip down to Missouri to visit the grand-kids
right after Christmas.

Good going Tom, sounds like you had fun. I finished with 361 in the log,
all CW. I could have raised my QSO and mult totals by going up and down
the band a few times, and doing some SSB, but I was determined to confront
my adversary, so I called CQ all weekend.
Worked 29 states, 7 VE and 2 XE mults, and 42 DXCC countries. The 590,
THP amp, Writelog software, and Winkeyer all worked flawlessly. All of the
many errors and screw-ups were caused by that pesky short between the
headphones.
