Comments:
23 dupes due to stations failing to ID. Two people are going to get a NIL
because even after listening to three more QSOs they still wouldn't ID. (of
course, they were probably dupes so they won't notice:) )
I suppose I could refuse to call anyone who isn't IDing -- but then I would
have missed ten valid QSOs and two multipliers...
Didn't do as well on 80 as last year.

OK, that's the bad.
The good: Excellent conditions Saturday, pretty good conditions Sunday.
Any contest in which one can work Thailand, China, and *two* Antarctica
stations from Tennessee -- while running QRP -- is a good contest!
The Golden Ears award -- for being able to copy my puny signal on 80 meters
from a location across the Atlantic Ocean -- goes to two operators this year.
One, the 80m operator at TM6M; the other, the 80m op at CN2AA. While the path
to Hawaii doesn't (usually) cross the Atlantic, KH6LC's 80m op deserves a
Golden Ears as well.
While I've made a smattering of run QSOs with QRP in the past, this is the
first year running has actually contributed significantly to the score.
Enjoyed it!
=====
Don't know that there was any "ugly". Maybe a few disjointed QSOs
when I forgot to close the shack door & the cat decided to sit on the
keyboard...
See you all next year!
