Comments: This was my 1st serious attempt in the single OP assisted
catagory, as I normally enter am part of the group at KE2NL's (W2R)
Think its a lot more fun in a multi.

The 1st day went great yielding 1700 Q's at halftime. Had 10 hours at over
100, with my best hour of 164. Seems as though the 1x1 call brings alot of
ur 59 001's.
2nd day was quite different from the 1st day as the QRM on 20 was brutal.
I couldn't believe EA3OT was having a lengthy qso on 14178 for a few hours
on sunday morning, I guess you can do that when your 40 over 9. I only sleep for
2 hours the length of the whole contest. (Sleeps Overrated)

10 Great south american signals No EU from here
15 Excellent best was KH8/N5OLS calling in middle of EU run
20 Money band. Tnxs 9M6BG for getting through QRM
40 Great but still have 40 mtr headache
80 Quite but signals not to good
160 Fun as always can't understand why I do so well to the South?

Thanks for all the Q's and fun. Time to catch some R+R
Regards Mike N2TX
