Comments:Wow - longest I've ever had my BIC - maybe getting
old isn't so bad...hihi  It may take a year to recover! Result is my best
overall effort in this contest. Fun time - missed Zones: 39, 22 and
probably 2...worked several VE2's, but not sure of their location. Had a
pretty good JA run on 15 Sunday afternoon for about an hour and some early
morning Q's on 80/40 but way more EU's than JA's.  Even worked more EU's
than Stateside.  I was expecting the bands to be 'not so good' with the SFI
so low - but maybe we "stimulated" it from the ground up once the contest
got going...hihi.  Bands were kind of puny at times and I probably messed
up on several exchanges - but over all was better than I expected.  Mostly
S&P on my end - a few good runs but a lot of dial turning and checking of
spots.  And yes - a lot of bogus spots on Sunday afternoon!  Love the free
for all in this contest!
Rig: FT-1000MP - MkV into Alpha 87A to a 4 element SteppIR with 2 elements
on 40.  Used N1MM+ and microKeyer I.
73's,
