Again great contest with great activity that makes one stay in the chair for 24 hours, although I had some problems to stay awake during 3-6 am...
Tried CW only this year and it was quite relaxing compared to the SSB noise the last 3 years :-)

Condx were like expected, but fair. As I was afraid, 15m wouldn´t be open tu russia on sunday, I maybe spent too much time there in the beginning. Also I was quite long on 160m to collect as much mults as last year (which succeded by the way) and therefore maybe lost some QSOs on the higher bands.
In a 24 hour contest you always have the feeling you miss something, because you have only one chance to work it. I prefer 24 hour formats anyway, because it´s more challenging and doesn´t kick you so much physically as 48 hours do.

Only local QSOs on 10m (DL, OE, HB9, HB0) TNX to HB0/9A8MM for moving with me, but I think I was a mult for them, too :-)

Thanks for a nice contest!

See you in 2008!
