Comments:
First CW contest operated in almost 25 years! It's NOT like riding a
bike :-)
Even 7 hours wore me out.
Stew Perry a very "odd" contest with relatively low activity. Reminded
me of a vhf contest in the old days where you work the band dry in an
hour, take off for an hour, repeat.
Was able to get Runs going, but I was easily overwhelmed with lots of
calls, which button to press, and me being new to all this
For me, a great experience on CW. Very different from phone with it's
QRM, terrible ops, regular rag chewers annoyed at you. Got to try out
all my new little interface gadgets. I'm ready for the big 160 test in Feb!
