Comments:

This is the first time doing a serious effort at this point in the cycle. I
was
in college at this point in the last cycle. The low bands were fun, but the
higher bands were quite a grind in the afternoon. I only logged two JA
stations.
Tried to snag a JA on 80, but he couldn't quite pull me out. I slept about
three
hours the first night, but much more the second. I found myself taking quite
a
few breaks throughout the second day. It was very tough to keep tuning both
radios for rates lower than 20 per hour.

Despite all of that, it was still a blast. I may be on for the 160 contest
this
weekend.
