Comments:

I did not survive this years 48 km mental marathon. Physically I pulled
the plug at 47,5 km. Mentally at 40 km. At that point I lost all operating
efficiency and did not gain much points after that. I had decided to stay
awake, so did not even cross my mind to take a nap. Anyway one or two hours
of sleep would have increased my final score, maybe to 5 or 5,5 M.

All this was fun anyway. I lost the control of QSOs in fascinating way.
Weird pictures in my mind and really not knowing what I was doing any more.
Hands moving on keyboard like in slow motion movie...
I'll come back for more of this drug in forthcoming contests.

Thanks for Peter-the-host OH5NQ and Axel OH5NW for spiritual support when
visiting me during the test time to time. Too bad you could not help much.
Some things a man just have to do alone.

73 all, Tomi OH6EI
