Whew!
I must first give a shout-out of maximum gratitude to my loving wife who
allowed me to sequester myself upstairs "talking to disembodied aliens".
This was an incredible effort, unlike any other contest I've ever played in.
The joy of having a CAT-equipped radio was fabulous beyond words! As usual,
Hiram Percy's Maxim (the number of conflicts on a given contest weekend is
proportional to the personal importance of the contest) was in full presence,
and I lost all of Saturday afternoon from 1900z on. That said, I did give a
full-blown effort from 1730z until the end of the contest on Sunday.
I had several good runs 20 minutes or more and one that lasted an hour or so.
I look at the total DX stations and zones and I can help but quote Steve Erkel,
"Did I do that?" Highlights include lots of new countries for me, including
Uruguay, Paraguay, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Senegal, and others. I also worked
a lonely KH6CJJ a few minutes before the contest ended, while the mad house
chased after Guam (KH2T).
And thus the bar is raised a little higher... see y'all next time!
Thanks for the contacts,
Scott, KB4KBS
