Comments:

We had company for the holidays and the bed in the shack becomes a guest room.
They left on Sat morning, but I knew I was going to miss most of the first night
so decided to do the Classic overlay - one radio, no spotting.

Started on 20m casually DXing and working Asia.  Then moved through each band
once.  Then I was kicked out.

Back on Sat morning and wow!  The rates on 20m were incredible. Had to finally
take the leap and go to 15m. It wasn't as good, but there were mults there.

Perfect conditions for being in W1.  Usually only one band really open to Europe
at a time and they were all beaming our way.  That means great rates if you can
get a frequency!

Must be a bit of WRTC fever still going on in Germany.  I don't recall ever
working so many! They just kept calling in.  Lots of Russian and Ukraine also.

Best DX was 8Q7DX and UP2L on 80m.  Heard a zone 18 on 80, but he CQed in my
face.  Did work RM9A and RA9Y. Any QSO with Africa was exciting (and usually
meant busting a big unruly pileup).

K1TTT was the ONLY signal I heard on 10m all weekend!  I don't recall it ever
being so dead in a WW.

No equipment failures this time.  40m beam is still intermittent on receive and
the SWR on the south tribander is high (but it seems to work).

Knowing I needed to maximize my score within 24 hours, I tried not to operate
too much the first day. I think I timed it out almost perfectly.  The 40m run on
Sun evening dried up about 10 mins after I hit the time limit. Spent the last
hour just tuning around and enjoying all the cool DX that is in CQWW.

So for my Classic score, it will be something around 2810 QSOs, 110 Z, and 396 C
for about 4.1M.

This contest really is the best in terms of activity and operating level. Thanks
to everyone for getting on and creating so much fun.
