Comments:

Brutal.

I went to this contest with goal to break 2500 total QSOs with CW & SSB
combined. All started great and things looked to be on the track with 80, 81,
84 and 96 hourly rates. 

But then something happened that I can't explain... rates fell through the
floor and never recovered. Sunday morning had some bright moments but soon it
started to look obvious that I won't be able to make the goal (1318 total QSOs
in this contest) so I more or less decided to leave it at 1000 QSOs and went to
catch up some sleep (later Dean talked me to make 5 more QSOs so we can have
total of 2010 between two of us).

Thanks to Brad K6IDX for letting to use the station and Dean N6DE for sharing
the operating pain!
