Station setup on morning of contest, is sure recipe for problems. These started
to happen after 3 hours.
Ran almost all the entire contest, should have done more s & p for big score,
but was having too much of ball to get serious.
First 3 hours had 3 x 100 QSO/hour averages, 300 Q's after 3 hours, then came
first band change and major RF feedback problems. Had to use spare ATU.
After first 12 hours I reached 950 QSO and should have gone QRT with a decent
12 hours 100 watt score.
Mistakenly pushed on, took 4 hours sleep, and left early to watch German F1 GP.
Easily had another 150 qso's in the tank. Might get serious next year.
