Comments:

I really liked this contest - I just wish I had showed up with my game face on
to operate it more intelligently!  No excuses....

There was a trade off between chasing packet spots and mults this weekend that
I obviously could have optimized better than I did and this choice (once made)
put me well behind the QSO leaders almost immediately - this was was clear to
me after the third hour & as the contest progressed from there.  At one point,
I counted 5 stations having qso totals quite a bit ahead of my own.... 

To make matters worse, there was yet another commercial power failure from
1055z - 1135z on Sunday morning that made any chance I had to maximize the
final hour impossible.

Still, having a chance to place well in the end offers some consolation - HI!

Congrats to Randy - K5ZD - who really showed how to separate the men from the
"rest of the gang" in this one.  Well done OM!

CU in the next one
