Comments:

Somebody cut my coax on Sunday morning, but the SWR still looked good!
Man, how low can we go? Haven't we asked this every contest for the last two
years? I dread another 'Maunder Minimum' - I might not last for another cycle.

I'm astounded how weak some calling NA stations were - they seemed to hear me
well, but I required a number of 'overs' to get their exchange. We used to
speculate about 'one-way skip' back in the '50s - maybe it really exists.

Looks like I've permanently migrated to the HP division - there's something
satisfying about getting a reply on the first call :-)
2/3 S&P (my favourite, I love the hunt), 1/3 running.

I kept feeling VA7ST breathing down my neck - looks like he passed me :-(

FT-1000mp, Acom 1000 (man, do I love this amp!)
3 el Steppir @ 64', 40m rotary dipole @ 72', wires for 80/160 (city lot)
Not enough sleep.
