and 
160m were def' down on Sunday night, Operated for 30 hours out of the 48
with 
2453 qso's and a band breakdown as below I missed out on Z2 (never heard one
on) 
and Z38 (only saw 2 ZS stations on and could not break the horrendous pile
ups 
for them on any band)
?
160m 167 q's 42 Cty 9 Zones
?
80m 324q's 55 Cty 12 Zones
?
40m 518 q's 91 Cyy 28 Zones

Sorry for the OT:

In connection with the Bletchley Park project, I am trying to find a good
copy of the Jay Leno show item where Chip Margelli (on CW) beat a world
champion texter in a speed shoot-out.

I can't find it on Utube - anyone know where it might be ?

Hi cqww-ers,

Thought I'd share my 3830 comments here in the hope of catalysing same from
other Gs; always good to pass a few minutes with a cup of coffee reading
them...

>>>>> Excellent weekend!

The first reasonably serious operation as single op from my home location.
Decided on 40m LP because there was a beatable GW record, my amp's not
working at the moment and I was interested to know how long I could go
without sleep and still function. 

Put up a single full sized 1/4 wave vertical on a 12m fibreglass Spiderpole
with 2 elevated radials at about 2m (above sheep height!) in the
neighbouring field. Got off to a promising start and was pleased that my
fears of not being able to run using 100w and a simple antenna were
unfounded, spending the whole contest S&Ping would have driven me nuts; I
was always able to find a spot to get a successful run going the whole time
and it was great fun.

Disaster very nearly struck 3 hours in when I lost output power on the K3.
In desperation I checked the Elecraft reflector archives and that led me to
discover a faulty internal interconnecting cable; very luckily I had a spare
(tmp) cable and fixed the problem else I would have been gutted to say the
least!

Conditions seemed good throughout, though on Saturday I, and other Eu, were
calling S9 JAs that just continued CQing in my face while on Sunday they,
and some other desirable zones eg 1,21,26,39, called *me* while running;
pile-ups were a definite struggle with 100w and simple antenna and were
rarely broken. Sunday afternoon here went very quiet but then really picked
up in the final 5 or 6 hours to a hectic finale; makes you realise just how
many contesters inhabit this planet! For sleep, I had an hour nap on
Saturday and two and a half hours in bed on Sunday from about 0100 with just
the customary nodding off at the dial once. I'd made sure of getting plenty
of sleep through the week to build up some 'credit' (not sure if that
works..) and don't have kids around now to upset that. Pleasantly surprised
how well I did though I do feel like c**p today.  <<<<<<<<<<

Last but not least thanks to all the Gs who worked me.

73,

Stewart, GW0ETF
