Great job, Mike.

I'm envious!  (grin)

I think my next legitimate contest will be the North American QSO Party CW
contest the second week-end in January.

Hopefully, by then, our son and his family will have been totally re-located
up here to Michigan, and more of my time will be my own again.

At least that's the plan for now.

Considering that I was away from home for 7 hours of the daylight time
yesterday, and didn't get started today until 1800Z because of church
responsibilities, lunch, etc, I still had a very good run, working only CW.

My totals are 320 contacts, 33,120 points, 51 countries, 44 states, and
7 Canadian provinces.

I also managed to snag 3 of the Mexican states.

I heard, but did not work, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Florida.

I neither heard nor worked Kansas, North, or South Dakota.

My best catches were all of my neighboring states, plus two contacts within
Mississippi.

I caught an after dark opening to New England last night, and caught
everybody at home accept Rode Island, which I managed to get this afternoon.

That opening last night was one of those that would likely have gone
un-noticed were it not for the contest.

It was great fun, but I'm now ready for some more casual radio time.
