Comments:

The XYL wants to know if I'm chafed after all this week's diddling.

Nice that the flux popped up in time for the contest, even if high absorption
ate signals at times.  Hope this repeats for the phone and CW contests.  For
the hours I played at least, if 20 wasn't productive, 15 and/or 10 were.  Shame
about 40 and 80 at the end, however.

It's busy season at work, so I didn't get all my advance prep done, and as a
result Murphy intervened, and I didn't get the second radio active until I
broke for the Friday night rest, and then only in AFSK.  Got some use out of
the two-radio setup, but not as much as I would have liked.

But this contest had its ups too.  Was surprised to work to see KC4AAA make an
appearance in the contest, and I spent a little too much time trying to get
through the pileup...but I have been wanting to work that station since before
I got my ticket.   Also, I was surprised to 9M2 on second call -- that never
happens with my little pipsqueak, terrain-challenged station.

One of rules of thumb for a good serious contest effort is whether I can get
DXCC in a weekend.  Only got 99 countries in the log, but since several of the
usual entities activated for CQWWCW and ARRLDXCW weren't up, I'm reasonably
content.  But, if only I could have gotten through to one of the 4 I heard but
missed/didn't stick around for.

Thanks to 9A1A, EC2DX, EI7M, IQ9UI, K9CT, NR5M, and S51A for being subjected to
my call on 5 bands.

Station: K3, IC7100, low hexbeam, delta loop, Carolina Windom.  N1MM Logger+.
