Comments:

I love this contest because the summer conditions are just so different from the
rest of the contest season.  The 24-hour format also gives the possibility of a
full effort (or nearly so) even for us senior citizens.  I find the full
24-hour cycle of changing propagation fascinating, and full of surprises.

I had a personal goal of 1000 QSOs, but a two-hour thunderstorm, and CME
influence left me just short.  Can you say 82 EU QSOs and sub-par openings to
Asia?  Though excellent activity from VK/ZL and South America eased the pain of
listening to hours of watery auroral signals.

Thanks to the ARRL and IARU organizations and the great ops for another fun
contest.

73,
Bob W7YAQ
