Comments:

I was looking forward to this contest.  Conditions are improving as the sunspot
numbers rise.  And it was a good chance to evaluate the results of 6 months of
antenna work (new 2/2 stack on 40m).  Very happy with the results - the antenna
seems to work better than my old 2-el.

The contest started well.  After a nap in the wee hours, woke up to bands that
seemed broken. 15m was really a struggle to work anything.  Almost quit, but
took a break and decided to get back in the game.

Conditions improved dramatically through Sat afternoon.  Sunday was very good
with even a 30 minute opening on 10m to southern Europe.  Nice to work so many
loud JA on 20 and 15m.

Spent (wasted) a lot of time calling HS5NMF on 20.  Couldn't get through the
Europeans.

I had intended to sleep from 02-04z on Sunday, but when the alarm went off, I
decided sleep was more fun than grinding QSOs. I woke up late, worked an hour,
then went back to bed.  So I felt great on Sunday but gave up some low band
points and mults.

Enjoyed watching the scoreboard race between AA3B and K1LZ.  I could keep up
with them for QSOs, but they just kept getting farther and farther ahead for
multipliers.  Shows the value of having access to spots.

I was CQing as much as possible.  Often on 2 bands when there were two open. 
That really helped the rate although I never had any giant hours. It is kind of
like playing a video game with the occasional mangled callsign to figure out.

Biggest surprise was working a KL7 on 80m.  Followed by having VJ5W call in.

Only state that I missed was MT.  Never heard one.

I continue to be impressed by how RTTY operating is becoming more and more
efficient.  Except for those loud guys that insist on sending their call 6 times
(all of them printing perfectly...).

Thanks for the QSOs.  Look forward to seeing everyone in WW SSB next month.
