Sheesh Don, no ducks you could've went after this weekend ?????? hi hi...

I like the format of this contest...Took the whole 8 hour break in one shot and got some sleep...Plus I don't have to torture myself on 80 metres in the noise chasing mults...

Missed a bunch of mults I was sure I would get...Very little activity from VE's, I only got 3 provinces...

Great runs into Europe Saturday morning, then they all disappeared at 1600...Got a little slow Sat afternoon after I had worked all the US stations, but picked up a little near the end with all the 'after supper' crowd and the scattered SA...I think my F11 key (CQ) is about worn out...Took a 2 hour supper break when the rate was hitting the 20's...

This is the first RTTY contest EVER that I did not have MMTTY crashing on me with Writelog...Not one crash...Don't know what I did to fix it, but I'll leave it alone...

Looking forward to OK/OM DX RTTY, CU there...
