Comments:
I am quite pleased with QSO count that is in the same order than in SSB but
score is much lower.
I spent too much time on 15 and 20 trying to squeeze out those valuable US and
JA QSOs with high multiplier probablity. Should have worked 300 more QSOs on 40
meters rather during that time.
Night is very short those days here and even though I was dumb enough to sleap
during the second night:) Even those 50-60 hours at 40m would have been better
than 90-100 hours of EU sporadic on 15m during daytime!
Congratulations to Toni at OH0B for beating me this time! Altough I believe we
have our own contest here in the north and guys like 9H3MM, GI1A will look our
scores look like Sunday operators' ones:)
I am still not having the needed proficiency in CW with only 1 year of CW
contesting experiences so sorry for asking many repetitions from some of you 40
wpm guys with HB9/DL9XYZ/QRP callsigns:) That's more than my RAM can take...
Probably the most pleasant surprise was to hear EL2DX calling in on 15m and 20m
both. Most incredible signal was from Bernie, ZS4TX on 80m 23 UTC first night -
59++. What the hell were you running:)? In CQWW we had so hard time to pull
through a scheduled QSO on 80m...

There was one key addition to my station this time - the chair. Newly aquired
Herman Miller Aeron played great! Compared to things I've sitting on this was a
different world. Still have to get the settings right but this is a chair you
can actually sit on for 48h straight!
