    I don't let them ruin my fun because I simply refuse to play by their rules. I'm in a contest to do things MY way, not anyone else's. Why else would I be nuts enough to try to "limit" myself to 83 Qs to work 83 sections? What "normal" contester does such a thing?

    Except for the 2010 DE QSO Party, I've NEVER submitted a contest log. I'm only thinking about submitting my log for SS to get the mug, if I bother to submit my log at all. I did it to prove to myself that I could do it.

    Y'know... I was thinking they should have a name for that. Maybe "REALLY clean sweep" or something. Of course in this world, it would probably have to be ULTRA Clean Sweep or SUPER Clean Sweep.

    Hope ya get the mug. :)

    Yes...

    Ya know how you can come off an interstate and you're used to running 75MPH to 90MPH and then you get on some two-lane and find it difficult to go 30MPH? Well there ya go.

    That picture is obviously faked. She's not using the Model 15, she's sending on the bug!
