Comments:

Amazing contest activity! 15m was busy up to 21.150! 26 hours is all the opening
time allowed on this band from this location. 

I lost 45 minutes of valuable early hours trying to figure out the bad keying
issue on the FT-857, later appeared to be the CAT cable! 
The FT-857 is definitely not a contest radio, more than 3 stations calling at
once and you're stuck!

Seven Zones were missed (01, 06, 07, 12, 29, 31 and 34). The Spiderbeam and the
CT-37HF were used pointing to different locations (no simultaneous TXing),
mainly to North/Central America and S.East Asia/Oceania attempting to catch up
the hard mults, sometimes with interleaving CQs.

S&P was mostly fruitful. On Day 2, I was planning to do a thorough S&P
job in the last opening hour (around 19z), but the band close extremely quickly
(with half an hour at 18z).

Thanks for the Qs!
