Comments:

A very fun contest.  Good mix of high rate hours and others where you had to
work for every QSO.  At the end, I thought I had done just about all that was
possible.  As I see the bigger scores come in, it was not enough!  No three-peat
for me.

Increadible amount of multipliers.  Even more amazing that I never even heard
stations like YI9OM.  Or worked 4U1ITU on 2 bands, JY9QJ on 1 band (and he
called me!), etc.  So more mults were possible.

I felt like I did SO2R as well as I ever have.  Spent most of the contest (even
during high rates) tuning and calling on the second radio.  WriteLog and the
W5XD keyer really make this efficient.

My failure was on 40m.  Just couldn't seem to get much going there in the early
evenings.   Not like last year.

One big hour of excitement on the first night at 03Z on 160m.  Worked most of my
countries then - including a UA9!  Could not break many of the Carribbean
pileups.

No sleep at all.  Was in the chair for all but a few 10 minute breaks.  It gets
easier to do this as I get older.  Being in good physical condition (run 5km
each day) also helps!

I feel like the operating quality in the contest was better than ever.  My
biggest concern is the lack of station ID.  So many times I would listen to
stations just send TU after many QSOs.  Since I did not have packet, I had to
work them and ask for their call.  D44TD was the worst and I think we duped on 4
bands because of it.
