I have still a lot to learn, so I still have fun contesting.
TU all for the Q's! 
It was my third attempt with SO2R on a single PC and I have to learn a lot
more. Well, it's gone. From my low seat … 10m where, form my prospective not
so performing. RUNning was pretty unanswered in the morning and after, but
Asiatic operators where there CQing. All of those with pretty big signals. S&P
worked pretty well as 270 QTC's with only 83 QSO may demonstrate. Even if there
where few CQing. 80m new receiving system was pretty good but unfortunately not
that much out of EU OM's where there. Wires for W went lonely and unused. 40m
was pretty good but with short and late openings to W. 20m and 15m, well you
know. May it seems that almost all operators that I meet on 20m didn't liked to
exchange QTC's. May be I was more tired when there or 15m or 10m opened well
before usual, leaving no space for 20m. All considered it wasn’t a bad winter
propagation pair of days. Or it’s mine fault not to trust 10m, HI.
Time to time the logger doesn't show up already exchanged QTC's, sorry for any
second request to some of you. That was, anyway, my flow:  ask for QTC when not
running like the hell on one radio. Both when slow running or making multiplier
in S&P, this on both radios. Much more depending on signals quality, serial
received and timings on the other radio than on simply make QTC’s like
QSO’s. Somewhat conservative and I see that it doesn’t pay.
Saturday It was uneasy to work dueling CQ and start QTCing on one of the
radios. This would mean that there was a great amount of peoples working on. I
have lost some QSO, but not all as peoples went back. TU for the patience. But
I lost several clean QRG's, not really on fire, slow runs, but clean. Kind of
QSY rule when SO2R, HI.
Also it was not so easy to exchange QTC’s, several peoples with hundreds
QSO's refused to exchange QTC's. I was not having the idea that I wasn't quite
loud there, but anyway not so often other operators would try to exchange
QTC's. The WAE is one kind of beast that's clear. But anyway I have tried alone
several times to become acquainted on the procedures and it is not space rockets
science. But if we will reduce the participation to QTC’s exchangers it would
be not so fun. 
Last but not least. It was a pleasure to switch onto the K1TTT cluster and 
have all the RTTY Skimmer detecting me when CQ, it happened several times on
both radio QRG’s. This was quite like humans spots. It seems to me that
skimmers spots cadence was around one hour. But when tired timings may be seen
a little bit or more distorted (you know this since the first series of Star
Trek, isn’t it?). 
TU all for the nice contest, CU U all on the next contests.
