Had full intentions of a 36-40 hour effort in this one, but found myself
finding it hard to stay interested a few times, so took many, many breaks and
got 2 full-nights' sleep...Ended up in the chair for 21 hours...Kind of wish I
had tied myself down a couple times as I could easily have reached my last
years score of 1.76 M, or even my personal best of 1.87 M...Oh well, the lawn
got mowed, chainsaws got winterized, kitchen taps got fixed and the contest was
very relaxed...

Highlight...Excellent propagation to Asia both Sat and Sun between 2000 and
2200...Snagged some tough mults...

Lowlight...The IW5 station who decided he liked my frequency enough to try and
steal it from me...Wasted 10 minutes getting rid of him...Ruined my morning,
took a long break...

Avg points/Q - 2.4, too low...
Avg score/Q - 1,042 OK
Avg Q/hour - 64.5 - Happy with this.
Best hour - 105 Q's
Best 10 min rate - 144 Q's/hour

All-in-all, had some fun, the station works well, ready for contest season...

73,

Scott VE1OP
