Comments:

No Es on 6 and poor condx on the microwaves made this contest challenging.
Had a few exciting contacts like K4MHZ FM25 on 2M ssb, plus worked a few random
FSK441, notably K2DRH EN41 on 6M who was sharp enough to type in "QSY 144.126"
at the end, where we completed there as well. My plans to put in the full
contest period were suddenly thwarted Sunday afternoon by sudden illness. By 7
PM I was comatose burning up with a high fever that hit me out of nowhere and
sent my heart rate over 145. I wound up spending Sunday night in the emergency
room. It took them over 6 hours to get me stabilized. I guess it would've been
more exciting to have been found with my cold stiff fingers still on the key
but if my wife hadn't rushed me to the hospital when she did I wouldn't be
typing this today. Not fun! This is likely my last contest from this QTH and
for quite some time, planning to move to a new QTH later this year. Thanks to
everyone for all the great contacts!
