Summary: 200 QSO's 71 Countries 42.6 Points
Well, this contest ended for me last night at 0640. Blame
it on El Nino! He cooked up a huge storm in the Gulf of Mexico and
the noise was just too much to contend with. I didn't even hear a
single JA this morning through the QRN and am now listening to W1-3's
running Europeans as the contest is nearing the end (2350 UTC now).
Now I know how the guys at 9M0C must feel! Last evening the QRN was
a solid S9 off the back side of my Beverages toward Europe and I could
only copy the strongest stations (my apologies to all those that were
calling and I couldn't hear!)
Anyway, with my last QSO at 0640 last night, I finished with
200 QSO's and 71 countries for 42.6K points. Last year I had 223 and
67 countries and was really hoping I could better it this year, since
I had a better start with 140/64 by Saturday morning! Oh well, better
luck next year and maybe El Nino will stay away!
