Comments:

 

Friday start was so so.

 

Saturday picked up with a vengence so I thought not bad.  Decided that with
my time left I was going to plunge in all the way. Score was piling up well
and a million points looked possible. 

 

Sunday morning after a small break, back to the 'high' bands only to find
them noisey, sporadic and overall very disappointing.  With a goal of
finding mults total reach 500 I kept trying to chase the bands for the
precious few but with limited finds.  I parked on 20, got chased up the band
continuously as the poor conditions on 15 and 10 forced everyone there and
it only got worse.

 

When MicroHam keyer or Writelog (or both) acted up 3 times in an hour, I
threw in the proverbial towel.

 

It was fun while it lasted.  

 

Most fun moment was getting called by good friend SD4OJZ (Jan-SM5DJZ) in the
midst of a northern EU opening on 20 on Friday evening and spent a few
seconds exchanging 'real greetings' other than the 5NN-nr.

 

73 - WN6K, Paul

p.s.  Over 400,000 more points than last year.
