Conditions were decent on 10-15-20. However, I seemed to do much better on 40
and 80, working many stations on one call, quite unusual for my 5 watts and
marginal antennas.
This is one of the very rare non-DX contests I have ever participated in. The
rates were certainly much better from my station here than in a DX contest like
CQ WW DX or CQ WPX!
Anyway, lots of fun. I especially liked the 10 hour limit even though the
contest was only 12 hrs long. I got to see my grandson play his basketball
game and it didn't really cost me much in contest time!
