Comments:
This was my best claimed score ever in CW SS by a total of three QSOs. Sometimes
I thought conditions were better than last year but other times I wasn't so
sure. The QSOs seemed to come in waves but then I would have some long lean
periods with few QSO.
I think I was more tired starting this contest than ever before. I don't know
if I didn't get enough sleep after the CQWW Phone or if my age is starting to
catch up with me. I took a 90 minute nap just before the SS started, but that
didn't seem to help much. I trudged through it in a fog and eventually made it
to the end. Next year I will try to be more rested before it starts.
All the sections called me with the exception of ND. ND was my last section and
I found it on the second radio. Also, ND was the only section that I worked only
once.
My goal for this and future Sweepstakes is to try to make the top ten. I may be
close this year, but not sure.
Congrats to all those great scores that have been reported. You know who you
are.
73, Richard - K5NA
