Comments:

I was busy keeping people fed and fixing things, so I operated very little.
Because of that, I can't really comment on propagation specifics.
But, I know that it sure would have been nice to have 10 meters be as open as 15 and 20.
For a change, we had plenty of operators and NO COVID. Last year, several of the ops picked up COVID at the Hamvention.

This would be a new US record for score and mults, if the score holds up to log checking. Would have been nice to have a bit more cushion.

A big public 'thank you' to K7SV, N3AC, K4QS, KA4RRU KC4D and N3CW for all the days of antenna help.

10% of the score goes to Swamp Fox Contest Group for the participation of WN4AFP and N4IQ

Thanks for all the Q's.
