Comment - Several highligts made it very enjoyable, however I overextended
myself at age 66 and became physically ill from exhaustion
toward the last. 20 meters was a blessing as was 15 meters.
10 opened late and closed early as expected. 80 and 160 was
almost useless due to rain static, lightning crashes, and a high
general level of QRN. I had difficulty in keeping runs going in
spite of a number of unsolicited comments about my strength in
Europe on 40, 20, and 15 meters. Not sure why. It was enjoyable
up to the point where my age told me I really should have gone
with a multi-single!! May have to stay with one-banders in the
future. I sure hate it: I love competition!!!
