Had a super time during the contest.  I really can't understand why
amateurs don't enjoy the thrill of the chase in contests.
Used 40 meter dipole up 30 feet, and an IC7200 at 100 watts.
Operated 18 hours for a total 380 QSO's, 15 states/provinces and 44
countries.  Estimated score 116,938.
I haven't won & I don't want the paperwork so I won't be submitting a log,
I still wonder how the stations in the USA that are barely audible can hear
me but many East Europeans can't hear me when they are bending my S meter.
Super super fun but how long the old ticker will stand the excitement.  I
daren't tell my cardiologist about it!
