Comments:

I managed to work a clean sweep in this, my first Sweepstakes. Running
high-power assisted makes it almost too easy, provided every section gets
activated. Thanks to the ops who put on a good show from the sparsely hamulated
sections, particularly VY1AAA in NT who completed the sweep.

The primary objective was to help out PVRC in the club score race. A competitive
entry for myself was out of the question due to other commitments. I also have a
hard time getting motivated for the big SSB contests. While SSB contesting is
enjoyable in and of itself, the ridiculous degree of bandwidth contention in the
major ones -- this one included -- makes it an unpleasant experience, both
ethically and auditorially. The issue of spectral pugilism is exacerbated by low
solar flux which concentrates the demand on 80, 40 and 20 m.

Thanks for the QSOs. See you in the upcoming FT8 Roundup and the 2019 RTTY
Roundup.
