This contest challenged my patience. Almost every Q was a struggle.
Occasionally I would get a station on the first call, and that was great!
Then came the last hour on 15 meters, and suddenly I was working B7P, VR2C,
E52JD, 9M8YY, AH2R, V73RY, KL7RA, a few ZLs and VKs, and a bunch of JAs.
In addition, I worked more KH6s in this contest than I have ever worked in a
contest in my life, with 12 different stations worked on 15 M alone. I have
never seen so many KH6 contesters in a contest!! They were all very welcome!
Well, here's a toast to better sunspots in our future!
