Comments:

As in most of the contests I enter, I don't know what to expect.  N1MM shows me
operating 12:17 hours, however this was spread out during the contest. I did
not run, but that is normal for me.  My brain is still going into moments of
hearing only phonetics for my thoughts.  I was surprised by the number HQ
stations on the air and the great skills of their operators. I was also
surprised by the operators who were to close to the band edges - maybe the
contest software could advise operators when their mode is too close to the
band edge.  On 80 meters, I could not pull the WRC stations out of the noise
and crashes.  I worked a couple and they could hear me.  Then, I remembered
that I had put up (down) a Beverage antenna point toward Europe last winter.  I
set up my IC-756PRO to receive on it and switched between the dipole and
vertical as need to work a few more.  There was such a difference in the noise
that I had tell about it.  I did not work many (23) WRC stations.  I suspect
that was because they were mostly on CW.
