Comments:

Decided to participate in the 12hr. category mainly during the night hours, due
to several daytime family obligations. Operation was exactly 12 hours, with no
breaks at all. Started off from 10m to quickly work as many mults as I could,
but the band soon died here. Moved on to 15m where I had a fabulous 2-hour run
with 250 Qs. Continued on 20m at 2000z where I stayed for quite some time, both
running and S&P at periods. After 0000z 40m & 80m were my main bands of
interest, not having any good runs, basically due to low power. At my sunrise
on Sunday morning I managed a few OC mults plus many west coasters on 20m,
which entirely woke me up. Last 2 hours produced a mere 110 Qs, while my eyes
kept closing automatically :-) I ended up the contest exactly at the 12-hour
mark, at 0538z Sunday morning, and immediately set off to my bed...
Overall, I am happy with the result, though I could have made it at least up to
1 Mio. if SA and OC openings were better to my location. Still, compared to my
last year's Assisted 24hr. High Power score of 918k points, I almost got double
the performance this time !!

Setup used:
Yaesu FT-2000 @ 100W
Cushcraft A3S
40m vertical dipole
80m 6x Inverted-L arrays base-coupled (also used on 40m)
Scheunemann Einhebel Paddle
Writelog for Windows

Enjoyed it last year ... enjoyed it this year ... may we all be well to enjoy
it next year again.
