Started on 20 at 38 WPM.  That seems like a good speed.  Band seemed noisy with
rain expected later this week.  God coverage to E, W, S, but not many W1; lots
of W8.  Worked 11 in the first 3 minutes, so off to a good start.  It took 14
minutes to get to 50 QSOs with 55 QSOs at the quarter.  At 1930Z had 103, so
there was a chance for 200. At 1936 the rate was still good and reached 120,
then at 1945 had 149 QSOs.  The rate was dropping and I have to call CQ a number
of times.  Lost some guy in TX when a fat finger moved my frequency.  Still lots
of CQing near the end.  If I had another good band I would have changed. 
SteppIR is too unreliable. There were a couple dupes and some guys who did not
hang around and repeat their calls.  The last 10 minutes  cost me the 200.  Left
a lot of guys on the table to work.  It was fun to have some Europeans call in. 
I noted three times I logged 5 a minute. CWTs have really built my skill and I
hope some day to get to go on a DXpedition again.
