Comments:

So...the CQWW contest committee decided to add a new  overlay contest and 
call it
Classic Radio.  And the rules say,  non-assisted, and only 24 hours.  Okay, 
the
24 hours is all right;  but, non-assisted and low power sounds like work to 
me. 
Also, it reminds  me of contesting with my old FT990 and a 40/80 meter 
dipole
strung across  the lot in midtown Savannah years ago. Memories aside, I 
decided
to give it  a try.

Holy cow, where did all these stations come  from?  Plus, the solar flux was
at 160+ and 15 meters was wide open to  Asia.  Friday evening was thrilling 
with
26 JA's, Guam, Mariana  Islands, VK, Philippines and Palau in the log. It 
was
almost impossible to  work 40 meters with low power.  The weekend was all
S&P, even the  big stations were having problems holding a frequency.  I
heard but  never worked the GT8 calling CQ under two big guns fighting with 
each
other  over the frequency...I've been here for 2 hours...NO, NO, I've been  
here
for 3 hours...oh my, maybe that's why it's called amateur radio.   

It's amazing to see stations on 10 meters above 28.8  MHz.  Although I 
worked
non-assisted, there were great DX contacts �"  3V7A, 5W1SA, 7Z1SJ, A71BX,
AH0BT, AH2R, B9/BY9GA, DU7RH, E2E (probably the  first time I've ever worked
Thailand in a contest), IS0BSR, NH2T, OA4SS,  SV9FBG, T88AZ, TF3CY, V47JA,
VP2MDG, and YM3KM to list a few.  Special  mention goes to HK1NA for the 
first
station outside the US for me to work  on all six bands!  Another of my 
favorite
contacts was working a KH6  on 80 meters.  Gosh, I wonder what all I missed 
as I
had no spots on  the bandmap?

Thanks to the CQWW committee for sponsoring  this great contest and the new
Classic Radio overlay...A+++.  And  thanks to all the folks around the world
whose contacts filled my log.
