Comments:

First note: the total results are real.
Everybody has goals before the contest. My goals was: "It would be nice to
have about 2000 QSOs, 250 mults or 1,5 milions points.". But when all those
numbers has met on scoreboard on Sunday at 23:59:38, I thought about software
fault, hi. So thanks to VE3JM (mult # 250) and N3XL (QSO # 2000). Yes, real
result will be reduced after log checking...

Conditions was interesting. 160m and 80m bands was closed in fact. Fortunately
I was on right time on right place on Sunday morning: 1 hour NA opening on
160m. 80m only a bit better. Only 40m was the place for racing.
High bands was oposite to low bands. 20m and 15m were nice opened. I was able
to run nice pileups on 10m on Saturday, with good rate of mults, but it was
worse on Sunday. I was not able to make effective pileup, so I preferred 15m
and 20m.

This contest I run without setup changes and it resulted to really stable
hardware. I only adjusted some voltages on ACOM 2000A (thanks to Val, LZ1VB
from ACOM) and it works at 100 % all the time.

Just one more SORRY to CT3IB. There was not right time to make simple QSO of 20
WPM in style "both calls + UR RST IS... = MY NAME IS...". Especially
just during ARRL contest, just during K/VE pileup of 150 Q/H. Your signal was
599 +40 dB, so sorry for my QSY after your long minutes of your sloooow
calls...

Thanks to all participants!
