Oh boy! I have had easier times at the dentist! Despite that, it was fun,
and this is a very enjoyable contest, but the conditions were not that good
in general.
Tried calling CQ, but most times, I ended up with severe QRM from various
sources, including some very bad signals!
A lot of stations kept getting my call wrong, and it took a while to correct
those.
At one point, I had a CW nut telling me to QSY (I was on 14103).  A lot of
stations seemed to just start CQ'ing without listening first, which caused
mayhem for me.

I did manage one new band-country, and that was LU1NDC on 40m! Nice to work
the W's and also ZL2AMI on 40.

Thanks to all for the points, and the patience!
Hope to see you next weekend in SCC.
