Comments:

That was the least fun I have ever had in any contest! Running low power I am
used to losing out in pile-ups, but I think I lost in EVERY one, except at one
point K4BAI picked me out and gave me a call. Thanks, John, I guess there is one
good reason to keep active and keep your call in peoples head.

My goal was 200 Q’s (previous best 160); I was not even close. Not a single VE
mult, missed almost all W1 and W7 mults. 20 was actually pretty strong, but
nobody heard me. I must have left my CQ’s a dozen times just to search out
ANYBODY to talk to. Although I was tired (took my kid skiing for the first time
this year on Sat. morning), I don’t think I can blame it on THAT too much. 

If it were not for being a part of PVRC#2 I would have pulled the plug after the
first hour. After lots of anticipation, this one was really disappointing.
