Comments:

First time WAE op here and it certainly took me out of my contest comfort zone.
The QTC thing caused me to stop for longer than I like to admit to read up on
how to work QTC. Back on the air, it was amazing to watch N1MM and the excellent
European ops do the heavy QTC lifting. Finally, back to making Qs the first
night I had sufficient propagation from 6-10 PM local time managing 71 Qs. The
second night opened for me about an hour later and yielded 104 Qs in 3 hours.
Many weak, presumably 100W stations called me with sigs right at my rather low
noise level. I'm sorry I couldn't copy you. Faced with a weak and watery wall of
stations calling brought me close throwing in the towel more than once but I
kept at it while gaining a more contest resilience. And finally, a big thanks to
all the EU ops!

FTdx-10 + AL-811 (3 x 572B tubes) at 600W
Hex-beam at 33'
Uphill to EU

Improvements for next year's WAE:
Taking the CW Ops advanced Morse course and more contests under my belt.
