Comments:
Contestus interruptus. I wanted to do a decent 20m Single Band operation like in
SSB. Propagation in the first hours were much, much worse than 4 weeks ago.
Nevertheless until 05:30z I was able to squeeze out 133 QSOs and 49 countries
from a nearly dead band.
Right when the band was about to open, headaches and extremely strong tiredness
came up. I decided to take an Aspirin and a one-hour nap. Nothing had improved
after the hour, so I cleared the alarm. I finally woke up after 16 hours, 21:30z
and 20m was dead. Though I was afraid that I couldn't sleep any more for the
rest of the night, I slept deep for another 6 hours.
This morning, even after two Aspirin, a morning walk and a large cup of tea,
headaches didn't want to go away. So I finally decided to give up, and drive
back home cautiously. COVID-test says negative, headaches have finally gone, but
still very tired. So, probably will go to bed now...
If there is a special plaque for the longest sleep during the contest, put me on
the list...
