Soapbox:

First MWC with new contest call. Started with some S&P but soon switched to RUN which was initially hard because RBN didn't really want to spot me rightaway. Perhaps I'll have to talk to the skimmer people about white-listing the callsign, last time I checked "DF7?" was not yet a valid pattern. But at some time I got picked up, and could run nicely until 17:02. Then I switched back to S&P and was delighted almost everyone picked up my call on the first try even when it's not in the supercheckpartial list yet. I tried CQ for a second time shortly before the end, but again didn't get much callers, so filled up the time with fetching the missing calls from the bandmap. Given the difficulties (and I didn't try very hard), 77 QSO is a splendid result I am happy with.
