Comments:
I think I worked two of every section. VE4VV provided number 80 on Sunday
morning.
Excellent conditions all weekend. Nice to see 40m with relatively short
conditions all night. Absolutely no noise here in New England so working 80
and 40 was a pleasure.
Tried something different for off times this year. Operated the first 12 hours
without getting out of the chair. Then 3 hours off for sleep. Then back on for
9 hours with no breaks. So operated 21 of the first 24 hours. It always seems
like the hours from 23z to 02z are always terrible from here, so decided I
would stay on as long as the rate was over 30 per hour. Ended up burning 3
hours of off time in the last 5 hours of the contest, which seemed to work out
OK.
We have less and less of the old timer traffic handlers every year. Kudos to
those who organize their clubs to make a big effort. Also thanks to all of the
QRP stations who join in.
The quality of operating from everyone was superb. Only a few people didn't
know what PR or PREC meant! :)
This is my 30th consecutive year with over 1000 QSOs. I think it is time to
hang up the streak. But you never know, the lure of SS CW is strong.
