Man, I thought the CQ WW CW was sparse!

I had an alarm/operator malfunction on Saturday morning, missed my 7:30 alarm,
and didn't wake up until 9:30. By the time I hit the band, it was wide open to
the east coast, and I dove right in. Who knows what great mults I missed?
I had some great runs, but not much from anything outside NA, and zippo from EU
 - the closest I got was EA8 (both days)! Saturday provided no XE, JA or other
AS, but a few VK/ZL, and the band lost its enthusiasm for even NA after noon.

Sunday was better - the alarm clock worked, and I filled in a few NA/SA mults.
Again, nothing from AS except a few JA, and the VK/ZLs returned.
I worked everything I heard, except for the AH0 with 15 minutes to go :-(

QSOs: K:667, VE:63, JA:18, LU:16, PY:14, XE:11, ZL:11, VK:9, CX:5, CE:4, etc..
Overall country mults: AF:3, AS:1, EU:0, NA:9, OC:2, SA:10

I'll be in PY1 (with no radio) for the RAC 'test, so Victor (VA2WA) can sleep
in and still take home first prize :-)
