Comments:

With a little pistol station and poor CW/typing skills, I approach
big CW contests with the idea of having fun with the challenge.  I
do like them better than Phone contests.  I had my usual two goals:
      1 - A personal best score
      2 - AK on 80 for my last 5BWAS state
Well, one for two -- I didn't even hear AK on 80, even though I got
up at 5:30 on Saturday and 4:30 on Sunday.  (I did see KL7RA spotted.)

I had no 6-banders and three 5-banders.  Unfortunately HQ9X was only
a 3-bander.  (I manually edited the N3FJP history file to add the YCCC
stations, which did allow me to spot the few I worked.)

Sunday afternoon: 20m signals from northern Europe all sounded watery,
almost like aurora!  Did anyone else notice this?

Real BIC time = 15 hours.  "Official" (60 min) time = 20.5 hours

Rig: TS-590SG
Actual BIC = 14:35 hours  (Classic "60 minute" time = 19:46)

          160:    Hy-Power 75/160 loaded dipole, running S-N
                  Southern leg straight to one corner of yard
                  Northern end turning to E after 25' and then SE
                      after another 30' to fit into my 60x100 back yard
          
Logger: N3FJP Contest Log V 6.0
100% S/C&P due to my meager CW & typing skills

73 -- Larry -- W1DYJ
