Comments:

I had fun on Friday and Saturday, although I didn't run enough.  15 seemed to be
in prime condition, although I never seen it in prime condition, so I wouldn’t
know.  It was good though.  I made good money there every day.

On Sunday the bands always seem to be impossibly crowded to me, to the point
where I almost want to give up.  I know I got up too late (slept too long
Saturday night), but this seemed like insanity.

Things got so bad on Sunday that virtually no one was getting my call sign
right.  N1IK is a good CW call, but ITALY is a terrible phonetic.  At one point
I started using NUMERO UNO INTERNET KEYBOARD as my call, which not only fun, but
it worked.

I remain, as always, in utter awe of the people who do 46+ hour SO2R efforts
making 3-4K Q’s.  How they do that is beyond my comprehension.

Best 73,

Brian, N1IK
