First off it has been another wonderful experience with great conditions! Even
with the good conditions the difference between the SSB and CW contests is very
obvious. I am grateful that the 2 element yagi on 40 was back up! I worked more
multipliers on 40 than any other band. I guess because there is so little going
on late nite that we are just glued to that band! The distribution of QSOs is
also very interesting. It seems that CW operators know how to change bands and
not stay on the highest one open. Maybe the conditions had a little to do with
it. All the bands played well!!! Europe was not as prevalent on 10 meters as it
was in the SSB contest but there was enough to go around. In fact 10, 15, & 20
were going at the same time. When I got tired of one band I would just jump to
another! Actually had a few runs going. The one at the end of the contest was
the best. It sure beats frantically looking for those final Qs. I was watching
as my score went over 1.3 Meg and the number of QSOs broke 1000. Someday I am
going to figure out how some operators make 5 to 10 times that number. That
reminds me. I almost made it a complete 48 hours in the chair. It was not until
Sunday morning that I got up. I planned to sleep only 2 hours. I ended up waking
up 5 1/2 hours later. Oh well... I needed it and I was refreshed! Missed a few
multipliers like VU2PAI and 8Q7DV on 20M. It is funny how they were so easy to
work on the SSB weekend but impossible on CW! I believe I missed A71EM or maybe
I missed the first opening and caught him on the second.

I hope everyone had fun. I can see that my station is in need of some
improvements. Fortunately nothing broke. Your mind does play tricks on you when
you go without sleep for a few days. I heard noises and thought the radio was
acting up. I probably was!

Until the contest... stay well and thanks for all the QSOs!
