I have some really great excuses for not having a better score but I
won't bore anyone with them.
The thing that hurt me most: not operating 24 hours.
The thing that helped me most: moving early Sunday from 20M to 7.029
and being able to (miraculously) hold on to the frequency. I sat
there from 3:50 p.m. local time till 7:00. I kept thinking someone
would come along and take my frequency but they never did.
I got NT the first half hour of the contest and finished the sweep
with VE6EX early Sunday afternoon. As long as I've been playing in
the CWSS -- off and on since 1960 -- this is my first CW sweep. I
think I'll spring for a mug!
