First comment: lacking too many multipliers... Were HC8N, 8P9Z and others
really on the air? I did not work them on a single band !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
On the other hand were the 5V7A-boys: they CALLED IN on every band
almost in my first hour of being there... Surely I should have searched
more multipliers the first day - instead of making 4000+ contacts...
You never stop learning... And: there is always a next time...

Second comment: Thanks for that  H U G E  pileup on 160m. Only too bad,
that I could hardly copy anything because of that downtown noise level :-(
