Just a few random comments:
Got a thrill being called by YI9KT and EL2DX on 3 bands each, yet I missed
Mexico on 40m. Also, was called by a few VKs and JAs on 40m LP on Sat.
afternoon. However, gotta think in contester mode, not DXer mode. A mult is a
mult, no matter how common or esoteric.
Great EU runs on Sat. morning on 20m. That's what I really enjoy about the
contest. One of these days, I have to do a rent-a-QTH, so I get more than a
few hours of it. It was slower than usual on Sunday. Despite 15m being barely
open (most signals at noise level to S5), I'm amazed I made almost 500 Qs
there.
Packet gets more pathetic every year. The number of bad spots keeps climbing.
It never ceases to amaze me how many little and medium guns torture themselves
by jumping right into the packet pileup mess. They spend seemingly endless
time calling, when they could be much more productive either tuning on their
own or waiting till the fray of big guns dies down.
Also pathetic is the endless calling. 9V1YC is right on with his comment about
it.
Nice to work some of the HST guys (and gal, HA5BA) Unfotunately, I won't be
able to make it to YU this year - I was hoping it would be over the summer
again. A couple of guys called me at 60+ WPM.
