Comments:
Hi all,
thanks for the all the QSOs. These were two very different days.
I got a good start on Day 1, and was almost in accordance with my
secret plan (5,630 QSOs planned, 5,623 QSOs made ;-), but I couldn't
get anything going on Day 2. As you see on the rate sheet below,
there is only one hour with 200+ QSOs, but many with under 100...
I could hear European and Stateside stations running each other,
but both of them were quite weak here. It almost sounded as if
the bands were not really open, while there was a good "skip"
between EU and W/VE...
Sunday afternoon I had to take a one-hour break, because I was
very tired due to the low rates. I took a great shower, and found
some relief from all the mosquito bites. I must have been a very
attractive target to them, there are itches all over the body,
but the (world?) record are two areas on my belly about the size
of a palm - one with 80, and one with 110 itches (!) respectively...
The Radio Blackout on Sunday evening wiped out 20m and 15m com-
pletely (only some local Caribbean stations [PJ2T, V26DX] heard).
10 meters was very noisy at that time, but produced at least a
slow, but constant flow of very weak US stations - mostly W9's
and VE3's interestingly, later spread out to W4 and W2's, before
other weak stations from W6 through W1 came through again.
At that time I checked 20m and 15m again, and found both bands
crowded with stations again...
The strange propagation on Day 2 also interfered with my multiplier
strategy. I missed a good number of "easy" European multipliers,
because the bands seemed not open. Plus on Day 1 the low bands
160m and 80m were almost useless. You can see from the table below,
that I just worked 20 EU's on 80 meters, which should normally
have been about the number on 160... I tried 80/160m again in the
last half hour of the contest, and found at least a few more
multipliers. Low point was that I called a number of very strong
stations on 80m, but was not even noticed once. Callsigns that
I can remember are HG6N, YU7AV and IH9P, who I each called for at
least 2-3 minutes without being heard...
But the bottom line is: It was worth it! The pileups on Day 1
make it easier to overcome the strange and exhausting Day 2...
It's just a pity that my secret plan (a total of 10,100 QSOs)
just worked on Day 1... ;-)

P.S.: I don't know yet what to do in CW. Maybe just operate from home...
