Comments:

Conditions were so bad 28 days earlier for CQ WW RTTY, I did not have high
expectations for this one.  Wow, was I wrong.  Conditions exceeded my wildest
hopes.

Operated in Classic mode for the whole contest.  One radio.  No cluster.

Since I was focused on a Classic entry I took 2 hours off to watch a movie
Friday night. When the rates exploded on Sunday morning, I went from #50 on the
scoreboard to closing in on the top ten.  That changed my attitude and I shifted
from managing off times to trying to make the best score.

The contest was obviously different with fewer multi-ops and no expeditions. It
was a bit easier to find a frequency on 20 and 40.  (Just a little, those bands
were still crowded!)  But, it really hurt the multiplier.  Decided I would just
focus on QSOs. Was still fun to have to make operating decisions about when to
run and when to tune for mults.  The way contesting was before the cluster
connected everyone to everything.  Missed some mults as a result, but figured if
I could keep close the assisted guys on the scoreboard I would be ok.

The rates on Sat morning were amazing.  It matched what I did from the Caribbean
last year. Thanks to all the Italians, Germans, and Netherlanders that filled
the log.  Not many Russians or JAs as the band just didn't open that deep.

Was running so much I didn't even check 10m on Sat morning.  I did happen to go
there on Sun morning and was amazed to find some Eu signals. VO1CH was pinning
the s-meter so it must have been sporadic E.  It sure sounded like a VHF contest
for awhile with lots of QSB and spotlight openings.  Sure helped the score and
was fun to run without splatter.

CQ WW is always amazing and fun.  Thanks to everyone who helped fill the bands
with excitement.

My score at 24 hours was somewhere around 3M.
