Wow!! This one will need a jump start!! We didn't hear more than 5 other
stations that knew what the contest was!

For such lousy condx, contest became a domestic affair which wasn't all
bad. Was fun seeing how different sections of the country came through
at certain times, kind of like the 10 Meter contest. Actually, 20 acted
like that, with certain squares from Texas, Okla, and La the only areas
heard early on.
Next go-around might I suggest not counting squares on EACH band.
Rather, count 'em once, like SS. This forces us to use all bands
judiciously, and not just go for rate. Too many mults this way.
Good timing having it the same day as the County Hunters Contest. Lots
of contest-types out there, and not too hard to convince 'em to give name
and grid in exchange for county!
Final score:
40M 77Q 49Grids
20M 98Q 70Grids
Totals 175Q's X 119 Grids = 20,825
Single Op 100W SSB Only
