Comments:

First 8 hours was truly fun.  The last 8 hours was not fun at all. 

Lost my motivation on Sunday morning when it was so slow.  No matter what I
tried, N2NT and AA3B kept getting 1-3 more QSOs per hour.  There was no off time
strategy.  Took breaks when I couldn't take it any more.

Felt like I had more dupes than usual. Lots of guys must have busted my call the
first or second time.  I worked all who called.  

This contest puts a premium on good copy.  Almost hated to work some guys when
they were weak knowing they would be loud on another band later.  I was looking
for KL7SB on 40 when he called me on 80.  That is not a band where you want to
try to copy the exchange of a new/rate multiplier.  I called him later on 15m
for insurance and he said worked before.  Same thing happened with VY1AAA. 
First QSO was very marginal.  Second time I could hear him much better and he
would not work me again.  Would hurt to "work" a guy twice and lose
the mult if I missed the number.  Such is the game.

Great contest. Nothing needs fixing except the activity level.  We just aren't
making CW traffic handlers like we used to.
