Comments: 
Another time, the \"sleep storing\" theory proves its efficiency even if it remained a theory and couldn\'t be proved scientifically. For the whole week proceeding the contest, I was having enough sleeping hours (more than needed sometimes) and this gave good results during the contest in terms of concentration and allowed me to forget about sleeping (for a long while!).

The targets for this contest were 2000 QSOs and/or 2 million points. The target for DXCCs was 300. Special care, time & effort were given to DX chasing by S&P. I had nice catches (S7, OX, HC8, 8R, etc.). That was great working new ones!

As my Spiderbeam rotator is not functional anymore, I was running up to the roof (2 floors) to turn it manually and then down to the shack... I can\'t remember how many times I did this, it was fun and it was \"real\" radio sport! :)

Conditions were excellent on high bands, with amazing 10m; but 40/80/160 were very crowded and very noisy. Seems like people are pushing huge power out of their antennas. It was unavoidable sometimes to work out of the bands.

I gave a first ever serious try this time to 160. It was too hard to work on but it gave me some precious multis! My 100 watts didn\'t allow me to call CQ on top band, I only S&P and call several times to let people recognize my call.

At final, this is my best contest ever! I\'m very excited with what has been done. Thanks for everyone who called me!

Best 10 minutes Rate: 300 QSO/h
Best 60 minutes Rate: 225 QSO/h (personal record)
