[OhQP-mail] K8RYU's Comments

Well, Ralph:

You gave me VINTton, and MORGan, unique counties in my log, plus WASH 
which I had worked before.  That should have brightened your evening. 
:)  It sure helped my multiplier count!

The last two hours of the contest were somewhat of a drag, worked only 
25 in the last two hours, but helped me get a higher claimed score than 
in previous (recent) efforts.

I missed K8MR/ASHT at the ending minutes of the contest - he had a 
pileup as of 0357Z, I wasn't able to break through, and I pulled the plug.

I gather you were a rover?  Nice job!
