ATTENTION KIDS: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS IN AN ARRL CONTEST!  IT IS ILLEGAL!!

However, CQ has no hangups about using a second call, which I did on Sunday
afternoon.  The initial packet pileup was wild, with a peak 10 qso rate of
251/hr. The rate stayed good until about 23z, when I noted a persistent weak
signal on my frequency. After a bit I took time to listen carefully, and
realized it was a DL CQing underneath me.  Soon after that I took off to chase
some mults, and ended up with 13 EU countries, more than I've ever done in a
contest from home.  I missed only NF in eastern W/VE (I did get VO2AC), but
since it was still daylight out west, missed all of W6, W7, CO, and VE4 and
west.

Being fresh meat is fun!
