I get this question a lot!
A lot of it is put into the notes file of CT as I go along. Most is
recorded in my mind as things that would be interesting for a write-up. The
rest is recalled as I look back through the log.
The really hard part is finding the time to write this stuff down. Only a
sick day from work enabled the ZW5B write-up to appear.
I am always amazed by the professional golfers who can tell you what club
they used on the third shot of the fourth hole of the tournament two weeks
ago. I guess it is the same kind of demented unbalanced over focused mind.
I also do these write-ups so I can remember what happened in the contest.
They go by in a blur and it is nice to take a few minutes and record my
reactions. Makes for a fun read a few years later. I suggest everyone
start doing the same -- you (and the rest of us) will learn some things.

And I had one Zero pointer that worked me for a dupe!
I worked most of them but after a while you start to wonder. Why are there so
many. Have they bust my call, computer crash, no dupe sheet, we didn't really
have the first QSO. It would be interesting if there was some way of working
this out.
1629 Q plus 97 dupes (would have been higher but I started to reject some!)
