Wonderful conditions! A personal best, just shy of my 2K QSO goal.
Not bad for just a tribander, a 4-sq., and a vee. Lots of 100+ hours
made it real fun. Europe was booming on all bands. No big JA run for
me on either day. Maybe I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Didn't spend much time hunting for multipliers, so the zone/country
count is low. Never would have believed that 20M would be my third best
band in any contest, let alone CQWW. Fierce QRM, as always. When will
people learn to zero beat? How do you winners sit in the chair for
48 hours? 20 hours less and my butt hurts!

73, Dick, WC1M
