I decided to start in assisted category this time, because condx promised to be not the best during the weekend. I felt assisted would be more fun in that case and I was right!

I think condx were as good or bad as one can expect from this point of the sun spot cycle. One hopes for a wonder like in the SSB part though :-)
Nevertheless 32 zones and 93 countries could be reached on 10m, the multi Ops even worked over 100 on 5 bands! Stateside was almost absent on 10 (only some sidescatter) and also 15m did not produce good runs into the US.
As I was already a little bit disappointed about my score on sunday morning, I was able to do a very nice stateside run sitting on 14011 for over 5 hours in a row! About 600 QSOs found there way into the log during that time.(from noon to 5:30 pm) Lots of loud W6/W7 called in and improved my mood.
Normally one calls on 15 or 10 at that time of the day, but sunday was THE 20m day for me. Mults and a lot of "normal" 2radio QSOs were made besides.

I surely missed a lot of mults, but the cluster pile ups were extremely big and so I often waited for a while and then the mult was sometimes gone. Congrats to the stations who worked split on the low bands, I think this makes it much easier for both sides also during a contest. 

Despite of minor problems (short power failures, balun of one 80m-Dipole burned, RX of the IC781 deaf on 20m...) all gear kept working and also the operator felt quite fresh and could stand 46 hours in the chair again.
On sunday morning I took a 2 hours break and slept for abt 1 1/2 hours, which I noticed to be adequate to my bio cycle.
For me this works better than forcing myself to stay awake until sunday evening and then seeing white mice running across the shack table...
