A few notes:
This score is a tremendous shock to me. When I began this contest, I
had envisioned only getting 50-80Q's. But to get a 163 with very
little Search and Pounce from my station is absolutely amazing to me.
I look forward to participating next year..

Soapbox Comments
________________
I'll make this soapbox brief.
We began the contest, on time, with all of the bugs worked out
BEFOREHAND! (Maki I was astonished by the way I was making contacts
on 40. I sometimes had pileups Broke the previous contest's score by
a slim margin. Previous score was 157 for the CAL QSO I think.
Everything went as planned, and I had originally set my goa more and
more...
I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations
established for amateur radio in my country. My report is correct
and true to the best of my knowledge. I agree to be bound by the
decisions of the Awards Committee.
