There were some of the night time hours that there was only one operator
& there were some lean times in the early morning hours.  Late Sat & into
early Sun morning I was trying to be creative running a little SO2R
operation with-in the multi-multi category.  A very good way to stay
awake having two radios CQing on different band when the radios are
across the room from each other. Walking back & forth between the
stations helps to keep the operator awake.

And in all fairness I will admit that there were no new calls logged
between  0230  and 0330 AM local Sun morning, so I sacked out for a
couple of hours.  There now I have confessed all.
