Very Good conditions, severe congestion - it's obvious that some folks move
on top of weaker signals without listening first. Tight radios on CW more
than any other mode allow good ops to handle the congestion.
The first 77 Sections were no problem. Beating down the competition for
NE, NL, and NT took a lot of patience. Final mult was NT -- by coincidence
Eric, VY1EI and my QSO numbers were the same!
I was going to work as many hours as I could. However, for the first time
in years I made my pre-contest goals, 100K and the Sweep with 3 hours to
spare and decided to take a rest!
Was able to run for long periods, average during runs of 75 QPH and the overall
average of 38 QPH with low power. No storms this year and bands
were quiet enough to pull most of the QRP folks out easiliy.
See you all in SSB! 73, Jim N1CC
