Comments:
Casual effort. Back and shoulder injury made it hard to stay in chair for long stints.
Conditions were not the best. Thought 15m might open a few times, but it would just tease with a few QSOs and then be dead again. Was able to work some Europeans on 80, but it was hard. Signals sounded a bit hollow.
Amazing activity on 20m. I heard RTTY all the way up to 14152!
This is always one of the my favorite contests. Since I was in and out, I enjoyed watching
the contestonlinescoreboard and trying to catch whoever was in front of me.
Hard to get much extra rate doing dual CQ when only one band is open at a time.
