29 hours in the chair but it seemed like more.
Wow, what amazing fun!

"Ain't no meters like 10meters" as the saying goes!
Lifetime high score from home on my modest station.
ARRL DX CW personal milestones - highest number QSOs (over 2000), highest number
mults (over 400), highest score.
More than doubled my score from last year, thanks to 10m being wide open both
days - over 700Qs on 10m, and almost made DXCC on that band.
Had a great time filling the log with JA's on 15m late Sunday afternoon (even a
bunch of 100W stations are in the log). Some great mults were on the air.
Just after midnight Friday, I checked 20m and it was wide open to EU, I ran EU
there from 0500 to 1000UTC, took a 30min nap, then back in for the start of the
high band runs. I was pleased with the HiZ4 on 160 this time, some stations in
EU were noticeably stronger. Also the FTDX-9000D APF works amazingly well on
boosting signals out of the noise.

CU in 2 weeks for ARRL SSB, and next weekend for CQ 160 SSB!
Thanks to all my dx friends for the QSOs!

Over 25 stations were worked on all 6 bands, and well over 150 more on 5 bands.
