Trying to be the S&P "human skimmer" IS fun! 

With 5 Watts and lowwires that only have longings to become antennas some day I
had to exploit the great EU-shortskip condx to the max - regardless how deep the
point per qso-value dropped (1,7 at the end). 
DX? What DX? Not my wire´s league :-(
Only 8 percent DX-qsos in the log with the majority UA9 and mediterranean. 17
of the 21 worked US-stations heard my signal on 40m.

But it was really big fun to scan the bands on and on (two radios making it
even more interesting). Having no other plan than to repeat at least last years
700 Q it was late sunday afternoon that I calculated a possible result for the
first time. Ooooops. Quiet hope - but I couldn´t believe until two hours to
the end that it turned out to be my first contest breaking the 1000-QSO-mark
:-)

Wish that running stations would keep to the practice of sending "test" at the
end - otherwise anyone coming to the frequency and getting the single call only
 has to guess what is going on. With the established S&P-pratice not to call
when the running station is unknown the omitting of "test" is time saving at
the expense of S&P-stations.

Best 73, Chris
