First time attempting to use two transceivers. Noted that I spent more time at S&P and less running. The country and zone totals were great. If I did not take the 8 hour nap on Saturday the numbers would have been better. It will take time getting use to having two differant stations, one in each ear. I did not realize the ability of the mind to filter signals when using both ears. It really confuses the brain when there are two dissimilar inputs. It seemed that the JA runs were not there, only used 100 watts and lost concentration hopping between radios. 37% Europe, 23% Asia, 21% South America. Ten was truely wall to wall Sunday morning. I have never heard so many signals. Everybody ran up to 10 meters leaving 15 vacant. It did not really matter, the bands to Europe were open for most of the contest. The deep Asians were booming in all night on 20 and when that closed there was an opening directly over the South Pole. Even Long Path to VK/ZL. Reminded me of 22 years ago. I wish the participation was better. It seems a lot of the little pistols have bowed out. Not many ZL's and only a few VK's. Maybe the news of this conest will encourage others to participate. Europe and South America do not need any incentives they seem to sustain a healthy level. See everyone in the CW contest.
