Now that was awesome! A work crisis started about an hour before the contest so
missed about the first seven or so hours of the contest due to that (during my
only sunset for a 24 hour contest)...so had to pick myself up and get on with
it....and wow did I ever! Lots of great participation! Best part was the two
and a half hour run on 10m of endless QSOs....loved it! "No meters like ten
meters" 

Conditions were so good I used some "Vivarin" caffeine pills to hang in there
(although not my preferred approach). The contest starts at 4:30pm here and I
had been up for 12 hours already by the time the contest started. Took one 20
minute power nap. The energy bars from the "First Strike" rations are good
boosters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Strike_Ration  

Very happy to smash my own T6 SOAB-CW-LP record from RDXC '12. 

Some nuggets of info: 
* 626 unique calls worked 
* best sixty min rate 108 
* 85% EU, 13% AS (34% EU Rus, 12% Ukraine, 9% AS Rus, 6% Germany) 
* DXCC worked 54 
* Best distance NP2X, N9CK, FK8CP 
* disappointment: 160m - total dud
* K index variations: 3-2-6...yikes! 

FT-857D, Palstar AT2K tuner, 80m dipole @ 34 feet, 40-10m OCF Dipole @ 30 feet.
Pretty cool for wire antennas! 

Now over 35k QSOs... only six weeks left...and WPX SSB and Yuri Gagarin. Every
party comes to an end....Party on Garth! 

DAYTON '13 ! CQ CONTEST ! 

Best of health to all, 
Eric T6MO / K9GY
