Comments:  

Second major contest.  An even more thrilling experience than the ARRL Intl SSB contest!  Am starting to feel more at ease.  

Late in contest tried calling CQ and was pleasantly surprised with a 40 minute run - handled it much better than in the ARRL SSB contest.  Need to evaluate run vs hunt - when to use the tactics. 

Pre-contest I tuned my antenna and took some time to set-up transceiver microphone EQ.  I was better able to break pileups this contest than before - perhaps DX pileup practice helped too.  Still not able to break the biggest pileups - 9N7, JU1!

Didn’t realize that 40M QSOs carried a score premium - a miss because 40M was working beautifully.  Need to better read instructions!
