Comments:
This was a great contest! SS CW has always been one of my
favorites. There was lots of activity and with lots of good operators.
I sure wish some folks would learn what CK? or PREC? Some would send
anything but what I was looking for. :-)
Conditions I thought were great. 40M was the big band followed
by 20 and 80M. 15M was in good shape but I didn't spend much time there
as I knew that I would get broader geographic coverage on 20 or 40M.
Was surprised when I was called by KL7HKX at 0523z on 80M.
When the rate slowed a bit on 20M I decided to S&P and quickly found
Jack, KH6/W1WEF at 1923z. Soon I found KP4TK cq'ing on 15m on the second
radio (1934z). I dropped down to 40m and VE2ZP called me at 2001z (giving
me #4 Q). Later I was on 20M and could hear a racket just below my cq'ing
qrg. I tuned down to check it out and found a monstrous pileup on N7NG
(WY). He was booming in at 30/9. I called a couple of times and no luck.
Someone said "up". I listened up and Vic, K9UIY, was working him. Dumped
it in and got the sweep.
I used 2 radios and had one radio in each ear. I never get
headaches but I sure got a bad one last Sunday and I'm sure it's due to
having one radio in each ear. Will have to come up with a better
switching system that will have one radio at a time in both ears.
Anyone have a good switching system they would like to share with me?
After operating CQWW SSB ( I hate SSB but I love contesting ),
I was really psyched for a good CW contest and this was it. I really
pushed and it paid off. This is the best score for me in SS CW.
Was nice to see all the guys who have been operating this
contest for a real long time. This is the only contest I wish we could
all use our old 1X3 callsigns. It brings back a lot of memories when
I hear K0VBU, K0LUZ, K7DBV, K9UIY, W5MYA, etc., etc.
Congrats to WD0T (at W0SD) and KR0Y on the great scores.
Thanks to all for the Q's.

old timers were trying to remember)
