Soapbox:

What a great contest from my small station!

Actually, my plan was to beat national record in Classic LP (which was not too high - 650k), and at the end I was 200k over European Classic LP record.
LY5W did fantastic job and claimed World record in classic LP. Hat off Sam, preety sure, after surgery wasn't easy to find enough energy for contesting.

As 100W station and "attractive" DX land it wasn't easy to make any run. Over 700 Qs were S/P. It means a looooot of work with VFO knob. I must admit, Maestro did fantastic job, it was so easy work with it.

Another thing is unassisted category. All logged juicy multipliers are mix of luck, VFO dialing and condx knowledge. Not too many multis on CQ (FM4, VP9, CO)

The most surprized QSO was KL7SB (1st call!) on 40m with huuuuge signal, decoded over 2h long here in EU. 

With rearanged break times, I guess 1.6+M was possible from my QTH.
