Comments:

This is the first time I've operated the IARU contest.  Since I didn't
know what to expect, I didn't set an particular goals.

I was able to operate the first 9 hours with only a few breaks to fix
lunch and snacks for my child.  However, around 2130Z I had to stop
for 3 hours to fix dinner and make a run to the store for some sunburn
cream, among other parental duties.  So I missed some presumably nice
Asian and Oceania multipliers.  Also I arrived at each of the low
bands somewhat late, and missed presumably nice multipliers on 80 and
160.  So I stopped around 0500Z so I could be lazy instead of
dedicated.

Briefly heard Z21BB on 10 meters and a few of his European callers.
Worked 3 or 4 southern Europeans on 10.  E skip maybe?  I was
surprised how late 15 stayed open to Europe.  Is that a summer
propagation phenomenon?  I don't remember this kind of propagation
when I was a kid.

Next year!
