Feast and famine is the word for this weekend. My ears many never recover from the strain of pulling weak exchanges out of the noise.  

On 20m Sunday, I had a rate of 140 for an hour, the fastest ever for

me in SS. . there were massive pileups.  Missing ME, I just made a comment

about it and suddenly out of the pileup a station yelled "maine"; we

both got a good laugh out of it. .  and it was his first SF QSO.  Of course

later found many other ME stations, but never MAR.  VO2RAC was challenging. .

understandably, the op may have been a bit overwhelmed by the pileup, and would  just pause for a while.  I popped my call in on an empty frequency, and he came right back.   

I'll never do this contest again . .  at least not until next year.
