I ran this contest (starting 15min early) expecting to hit 10,000 Q's before
Doug fired up his rig but ran out of QSO partners to count down the serial
numbers from. My score is thus negative-0

 

Actually, that's a lie. I called CQ on all the WARC bands and never made a
single QSO.

 

When it appeared hopeless, I stopped CQing and just accepted the fact Doug
will win as always, as he's from the future and somehow has rigged the final
outcome. No idea how he does this but next year I'll engage some flux
capacitors and reach out to Dr., Emmett Brown who can maybe ensure I get
ahead of the game with some underground antennas and a weird Canadian
callsign.

 

Good for you 'DG !
