Comments:

After struggling through the famous Saturday conds , I joined the family for TV 
viewing and decided to take an early night.  Got up in the early hours, still 
quiet, back to bed => Had a good nights sleep and entered the chair well rested 
to surprisingly good conds on Sunday morning.  The mood quickly turned from 
?calling the contest a day? and spending the day on more ?useful? activities, 
to entering the addictive contest mode.  

High points: 

During one of my few 'cq test? periods, with excellent 15m conds mid-day 
Sunday, I peaked  a rate of 145 q?s/hr.  Wow!   Suspicious of being a spot on 
some cluster, as there for a few moments was a ?wall of? US callers.  Fun as 
long as it lasted. 

In the midst of a 10m cq-period with 'local' EU traffic came a call ?out of the 
blue? from VK6HD.  Very encouraging.

Learning point:  Nevertheless chanceless in the most heavy pile-up 
competitions, spend more quality time on multiplier hunting. 

Equipment:  Kenwood TS-570,  Dipole (80-40),  Sigma5 Vertical Dipole (20-15-10)
