Comments:

What can I say?  I've been at the VHF game since the late 80's (HF since the
late 70's) and this is one of my poorest showings ever.

N1MM+ shows my time as 31 minutes, but I likely have closer to 31 hours !

The radio was on most of the weekend and a view times I did wander over to the
ON4KST chat room to see if anyone in W1 or VE2 wanted to give it a go.

I was pleased to work a couple of my VE1 buddies (VE1PZ and VE1SKY) who I am
sure had it as bad as I did.

I gave up CQing, as I CQ'd (literally) for an hour at a time on 2m with not one
reply most of the time.  I did however work K1OR once during one of these CQ
marathons, so appreciate that.

Full marks to my old VHF friend K1TEO who is usually a slam dunk on 2m.  We
tried 4 or perhaps 5 times over the w/e but never made it...condx were that bad
!

LEft the amps off this time(who wants to hear fans running for 30 hours for 9
QSO's?) so was limited to 100w on both bands (6/2)

Maybe I'll be back next year !
