[NCC] Fwd: SS CW W1NN Single Op LP

[Hal Offutt]

I hope everyone had a good time in the contest.  I worked lots of 
members.  I caught K8MR at three of his traveling roadshow locations.  
Thanks Jim.

I was a little ahead of W8CAR at the midpoint but I didn't hear Dan very 
much late in the contest.  I was way ahead of W8WTS at mid-day on Sunday 
but I think Jim took all of his time off early and I still had almost 
three hours to take, and he was steadily narrowing the gap up Sunday 
afternoon/evening.  Not sure if he made it past me in those last couple 
of (painful) hours.

Comments:

Good conditions but participation seemed down.

I got off to a really bad start. Computer froze twice in the second 
hour, requiring restarts. I lost about 20 minutes, killing my rate, 
which was not so great to begin with. After that, I was playing catch up 
with last year's results the rest of the contest. I never did catch up 
and my final contact total is 53 less than 2018. But looking at the 
early scores on 3830, it looks like I was not alone.

This year the sweep was easy. In recent years, I can remember missing 
NNY and sweating NL, KY, EWA and WV, but they were all plentiful this 
year. PAC and AK were well represented. VE6 was the last mult to go in 
the log. TNX VE6BBP for being there. Also thanks to VE4VT, the only MB I 
heard.

The last 4-5 hours were about as painful as I have ever experienced.

Now back to raking leaves.
