Comments:
Wasn't mentally or physically ready for this one. Have had back problems for
past 6 weeks and didn't think I could make it through the whole contest. Wanted
to see if I could last long enough to get over the 1K QSO mark.
Conditions seemed OK at the start, but activity was off. I had no problem
finding and holding frequencies on 40m all Sat night. That's not normal at all.
When I compared to last year's rate sheet, I was over 150 QSOs behind when I
went to bed.
Again on Sunday, conditions were OK, but activity was not. I managed to catch
up with some of the jack rabbits out West, but not enough. At one point N2NT
was 100 ahead of me. Finally made it to 1000 QSOs at 1800z (about 3 hours later
than expectd).
Have never wanted to quit a contest so bad. My back was hurting on and off.
Decided that I would regret it if I quit and found later I could have won the
Division or something. Also, once you are 18+ hours into the masochism that is
SS CW on Sunday, might as well stick it out.
I thought the caliber of operating was better than ever this year. Almost
everyone would provide the correct fills and seemed to know what PR? meant. The
QRP crowd is awesome. They don't send the fastest, but they do a great job of
making QSOs.
My last QSO may have been past the 24 hour mark, but didn't want to leave N0AX
feeling ignored. :)
This was a great training run for CQ WW CW. See everyone then (and will have
the live audio streaming going for that one).
