Comments:

Got off to a great start...569 q's in first 5 hours but then fell off the cliff.
By 0700, the rate dropped and never was much fun after that. It was not easy
finding new stations to work. 

I thought that working the west coast was not as easy as any where else. The
signals from neighboring states were awesome. WAS less AK in just a few hours.
No prop through AU zone...saw later that we have higher A & K index than the
last few days. Never heard JA or anything over the pole. 

Missing NNY (heard K2NNY S&P), AK, NWT and PR. Had a quick opening to EU at
0400Z that brought a lot of mults. 

DUPES...I can't believe the number of stations that were dupes...I finally quit
telling them and just worked them to have something to do. But then when they
called in for the third and fourth time.....Maybe I was spotted with the wrong
call early, I just don't know why. 

I like this contest but it seemed too long. It might be better if I could get
more sleep during the day. I will forget by this time next year. 

Thanks for the qsos and Happy Holidays
Craig K9CT
