Comments:

Well that was contesting fun & hell put together in one weekend.
I was ready to throw in the towel during the first night as 40m was dreadful to
start and QRP on 160 is Sadomasochism!
Thank goodness for a reasonable 80m on first night to keep me going.

Things really went upwards from there on out.
20m was wall to wall from very early in the morning and didnt close until around
2300z

Unfortunately there were some relentless signals that were extremely wide and
sometimes there were 4 or 5 huge stations withing 3KHz of each other.

Running in an SSB contest is difficult, so this was done for a very small time.
The bulk of Q's were done S&P.

Everything was still set-up from the Russian DX contest the previous weekend.
I made some additions, but still go for the full set-up as bad weather was
incoming.

I set a target of 1000 Q's, i thought i was never going to get there!
Being unassisted from this site, usually means that mults are short.
I am very happy with the result, a lot of dial spinning and listening paid
dividends, if only more stations would put their call after at least every 2nd
Q, it would make things a lot easier. Some stations persisted in completing
nearly 10 Q's before dropping their call. NOT EVERYONE IS ASSISTED!!

Activity felt way up on normal contesting weekends, most likely due to everyone
being stuck indoors.
Good for contesting, lets hope that some of the newcomers enjoyed it and will
come back more often.

Station Setup:
FT1000MP @5 Watts, N1MM+ Logger, 1 insane op, lots of beer

160 - Inverted L , Dipole
80 - Full Wave Loop , Inverted L
40 - Full Wave Loop , Vertical
20 - Hexbeam, Dipole
15 - HexBeam
10 - Hexbeam

It was a pleasure to work so many friends during this and pass pleasantries
quickly.
Also the first time in a long time there has been QSO's on all 6 bands!

All QSO Audio is uploaded to QSorder.

Thanks for another weekend of contesting fun.
Stay healthy and safe.

73, Scott
