Rock and Roll !  Another great IOTA contest.  Also the first test of new C3SS
yagi from home and I was pleased with the result - highest ever score for me.

It's all about the strategy...  I kept a very close on the points/Q figure and
the value of a mult vs QSOs, and kept last year's results close to hand.

With this contest I feel that you're likely to pick up fewer mults by running
than in other contests, especially as the multi-op's will run on the more
productive bands, and only drop into the lesser ones (e.g. 40m phone!) to grab
mults.   So stopping specifically to hunt mults is a must.

I split my time between running EU where I could (i.e. 20m / 15m CW mainly,
sometimes phone if I was lucky) and then slow trawls of each band / mode slot to
get mults.  And with mixed mode there are plenty to choose from. :-)   SO2R I'm
sure would be a huge benefit - I'll hopefully get this sorted out soon.

I never really made any impact into AS or OC, but nice to see good support from
NA and SA.

I operated the first 5 hours, then an hour around 1900 local, then 2 hours from
about 2130, leaving just under 3 hours left from 0800.   Hopefully I didn't miss
anything exciting in the off-time.

TS850. 100w. C3SS @ 9m.  Windom @ 8m.

12 hour mix LP Island section (non DXpedition)
