Comments:

This was my first 48 hour CW contest in about 15 years...well, 41.5 hrs anyway.

What a difference a year makes.  Last year I could hear EU on 20, but they
weren't that bad for QRM.  This year I had to QSY from 20 to 15 because there
were so many strong EU calling me I couldn't copy the US guys calling.  15 also
presented the same problem but on a lesser scale.

Was surprised to see I broke the Oceania record set at the peak of the last
cycle.  I doubt that it will hold since there is only a 140K difference between
the record and my score and the log checkers will probably chop that much off.

10 was full of surprises.  15 had slowed down Sunday morning and I decided to
take a chance on calling CQ on 10 and was rewarded by a packet spot and a huge
east coast pile up that caused the rate meter to go past 200 while I logged
about 15 new mults.  Just as quickly as it started, it ended...with CQs
unanswered.
