Also, the entry is ***Single Op-Unassisted***, not SO-Unlimited, as sent
out on CQ-Contest! Double sorries.

>10 and 15 were terrific to JA. The first two hours were two 150s, and
>there were 305 QSOs in the log to JA/Asia at 02Z. Running 40 split was
>good to JA/Asia in the mornings, and 10/15 were runnable to Europe on
>Saturday, but not Sunday. I had nearly 2100 QSOs in the log at 1230Z on
>Sunday morning, but the final crunch time to Europe was pretty much a
>grind. Half of all the QSOs were JA. Thank god, there seems to be a

>Usually, the final hours from Texas are pretty grinding, with S&Ping to
>South America and Africa while trying to squeeze out a few more JAs on the
>high bands. This time, at 2350, VK8AN called in on the 10 meter run to
>JA, with Zone 29. We moved to 15 for another Zone 29 mult there. Then
>trying 20, where I didn't even have a VK at all, there was no propagation
>at all to VK8. But after a plea for last minute help, C6A/KI6T and EI5DI
>both called me on that frequency for two more new mults on 20. With the
>clock at 2359, I issued one last plea to the contest gods, asking for
>"anyone in Australia to give me a hand." At precisely 2359:15, VK6WR
>called in LP over Europe with an S9 signal and said "sure, mate, what doya
>need?" Wow! What a way to end with the double mult. We chatted about
>what a pleasant ending it was for ten minutes while the equipment cooled
>down. A great ending-the best ever for me. I really enjoyed the SSB
>contest, and the bands were quite good for most of the weekend. The goal
>always is to make the top ten from here. Who knows, maybe this will be
>the year. CQ WORLD WIDE DX CONTEST -- 1998
