There's no meters like 20 meters!  Nice run the first hour to start the contest.
 Great run in the last hour to finish.  Lots of lots of G and PA stations on 20m
SSB.  Got a lot of QSO number 001 on Saturday afternoon.

Very noisy on 80/160.  I could tell that the Europeans were hearing me better
than I could hear them. With the high level of log checking in this contest, I
tried to take extra time to confirm calls and numbers.  Even so, I am sure the
log checkers will find lots of errors in my log.  Many stations were so weak,
it was difficult to know if I copied the number correctly.  Didn't help that I
was watching the Formula 1 race live from Australia during European sunrise.

My first experience doing a serious effort mixed mode and with packet. Packet
is a big help for finding multipliers and QSOs.  Many times I found myself
getting lazy and just chasing spots instead of tuning.  Felt strange to be
CQing on CW in one ear and tuning for SSB in the other (or vice versa).  Thanks
to the WRTC qualifying system for pushing me into the category and the new
challenge.

Lots of great competition in the USA this year.  Can't wait to see how everyone
did and what their strategy was during the night hours when things were slow.  I
decided to sleep!

Worked 5T5DC on 2 bands.  Didn't get a number so logged as 000.  Will let the
log checkers decide that one.
