>N9RV: Â "First time in many years that I've had 
>a contest score that didn't have a comma in it."
>
>WK0P: Â "Holy Moly...I thought nothing could be 
>worse than 2018 but I was wrong."
>
>NS3T: Â "That was really ugly. I darted in and 
>out of the shack at various times during the 
>weekend, and mostly what I heard was nothing."
>
>K7VIT: Â "One can look on the bright side. With 
>band conditions like this in the Pacific 
>Northwest, I had no trouble at all holding a run frequency. :-)"
>
>KS0MO QRP entry: "rip roarin loggin challenge, used water kooled pen! ..."
>
>N3JT: Â "Just short of shatteringly fun!"
>
>W2NO: Â "No fun at all"
>
>N3CW: Â "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
>
>N3BB: Â "Ugh."
>
>NF3R: Â "ughhh"
>
>VE1OP: Â "ugh..."
>
>KP3MM: Â "LOL!"
>
>N4OO: Â "Ha!"
>
>NX5M: Â "Brutal, painful, horrible, slow....words to describe the weekend."
>
>VA3DF: Â "As usual, it's a jungle out there... "
>
>W3KB: Â "Is What It Is."
>
>To conclude, here's my favorite...

>VE4GV:  "The results of this weekend’s ARRL 
>10 M test from VE4 land are best expressed by 
>paraphrasing a segment of the movie Billy Madison with Adam Sandler:
>
> “My score is one of most insanely idiotic 
>submissions ever sent to 3830. At no previous 
>time, in my entire 48 year amateur contesting 
>career from VE4 land, did this year’s ARRL 10 
>m score approach anything close to this abysmal 
>number. No one would consider this a  rational, 
>worthwhile use of anyone’s time or 
>resources.  Nobody, (other than 6 stations that 
>included 2 local VE4s) benefited from the 
>countless hours I spent scouring an empty band 
>for the faintest of signals that might be heard. 
>The time spent on this endeavor was utterly 
>wasted, devoid of reason and purpose, never to return.
>
>I award myself 120 points for the 6 QSOs, and 5 
>sections (obviously no DX)and may God have mercy on my soul.

>It cannot possibly be worse from here."
