[CQ-Contest] Be careful what you wish for

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I made zero contacts.  First time in a long time.

I made lots of FT8 contacts this weekend and watch some Football and 
worked on some outside projects.

Very little motivation for SS.  I guess I have too much going on at the 
moment to be tied down for 24 hours.

I also noticed next to no excitement or posts with the local contest 
club.  I did get a couple of frantic emails when my cluster apparently 
rebooted about 10 minutes prior to the contest!

I guess we will see if participation was down from the numbers in the 
next few hours.
