Comments:

Only a few hours to play, but it was fun.  Working the high bands with 100W and
a dipole was a challenge to say the least.  Wall to wall signals virtually all
the time.

I had a new (for me) contesting experience - a TwoFer.  The bands were so full
that on many frequencies I could hear two or three stations simultaneously
running.  Either they couldn't hear each other or they were really good at
ignoring the QRM.  

Usually one was much louder than the others.  So, I'd wait for the right part
of the rhythm, and drop my call into the fray.

A TwoFer is when you get *two* confirmations and exchanges for a single call in
response to a CQ/QRZ.  In this case the stronger signal came back to me, but
after he finished I heard the weaker one also confirm - I think also with me. 
By the time I realized it, the strong station was well into the next QSO.

So, someone's going to get a NIL.  Sorry about that.  I guess that's one of the
costs of keeping exchanges short and fast, so it's not always clear who's
talking to whom...
