<insert witty comment here>

I was going to do another iron pants effort @41-43 hrs & SO2R but haven't
been feeling well lately, so decided on Classic (I laugh at all the Classic
'ASSISTED' entries I am reading about on 3830scores)....doh !  Classic means
one radio and no Telnet/Internet dudes. Geez....

What can I say? I have lowwww wires (4Sq's mostly) and around 650W to work
with.

Playing So1R almost felt like flying blind.

Sure missed having huge solar flux to help out...especially 10m ! (though I did
get a surprise Es opening late Sunday morning which garnered me nearly 100 very
much appreciated Q's.

Very few freq fights.

10 & 15 had lots of open spaces, but prop was generally meh

20m was weak Sat (I felt) but a bit better Sunday.

Hard to be heard in EU on Sat, but better Sunday after they had worked each
other mostly (hi)

80m was pretty strong Friday night.  Gave up early on 80m Sat night.

160m had issues with my antennas, so SWR only tolerable in OMNI or to the SW
(which hurt score big time on this band)

Much of the contest was "NAQP" to me and I am sure this tells the
tale:
North America    158    190    221    550    260     87   1466   59.3
South America      0      2     11     10     32      4     59    2.4
Europe             8    124    206    446    106      0    890   36.0
Asia               0      2      4      5      1      0     12    0.5
Africa             0      4      7     11      9      2     33    1.3
Oceania            1      2      3      1      1      0      8    0.3
???                0      0      1      2      1      0      4    0.2

Was a thrill to work some JA's LP on 40m.

However, my BIGGEST thrill came early in the contest when I was just checking
10m to see if there was any life.  Worked one Brazilian stn on my HF9V (very
very weak) and then I decided to check sidescatter to EU on the very low yagi
and heard Dave - VE9CB (disguised as 6W1SU) CQing on the low end of 10m. I
couldn't believe my ears....and he had no callers ! (how come the skimmer crowd
was not all over him?) Amazingly got him on the 2nd call.  Signals were very
weak, but 10m is so quiet (here anyways) that it was an easy QSO.  Went on to
make a total of 4 Q's with Dave VE9CB visiting over there in 6W for a great
weekend mult boost.  Thanks Dave !
