Comments:
Dear Friends,
Excuse me for I have now consumed two beers post contest in mid afternoon
having abstained up till now. This is our second run at the IOTA contest and
it was even more fun this year. Conditions were better on 15 and 10 for the
second daylight period this year whereas last year the second morning was
stinko for us. Our score may be up nearly 20%. This is a contest which
demands making use of search and pounce.
Three of us did this contest, EI2KM aka F8FUA, EI2KC and EI2CN. For me
it is definitely good to share the contest effort with friends as it allows a
modicum of sleep which is very welcome when 73 years old - my fellows 2KM and
2KC are younger and more fit. Thank you for the 24 hour contest which is so
different in so many respects. Working Europe is as good as working an
island on the other side of the world. You need to adjust your strategy.
Well thanks to all for the wonderful time. Now I am off to the scratcher
for an afternoon nap post two beers.
