Comments:

What happened to 160? I have not heard a single station for the whole weekend?!
Same in the SSB part, but I was hoping for at least a few EU contacts...

Monitoring the cluster while operating really shows how much the game has
changed. The "cluster" pile-ups are instant and brutal, especially when being a
double (and only) mult. The wall of callers starts a second after the spot pops
up and handling the crowd is rather difficult with the big ones thinking its
always them you answered, regardless of what you say :)

It also shows how little people listen these days. I always try to ID very
frequently (if not after every QSO for most of the time) so catching my call
should be plain simple. However... Someone spotted me as ST2R and corrected the
error within a minute - yet in that short period of time I had at least 10 dupes
in my log?!    

All in all - great fun! My wife still has problems understanding (after 25
years) how one can sit for the whole weekend in front of the radio and still
like it. It's a bug and I sure hope it never goes away.

73, Robert
