Comments:

Did not make a QSO for the first 13 minutes of the contest. I thought I was
perhaps on the wrong side band. Dismal first hour.
The A was 23 at the start so maybe this was a hint of what was in store for the
weekend.
I could not get any good runs on 40 this year. 
The best time is always at the end. I have been so lucky over the years that I
have been able to do contests and finish them without major equipment
disasters.
I will be 66 next week. I do not know how many full time  SOAB adventures I
will be doing in the future but it has been fun doing what I started as a 15
year old kid.
I had 167 dupes. A mystery to me why I have so many.
Anyway, thanks to all who gave me a call and sorry to those that the QRN would
not let me hear them to give them a QSO.
