[SADXA] CQWW SSB at N7WS

[Wes]

Although I am not a contester I decided to play around in the contest as a 
Search and Pounce (SP) operator. I entered as a single op, unassisted, high 
power station, although I run only 500W.

I started about an hour late on Friday evening (Sat morning GMT) on 10 meters 
and when it closed dropped down to 15.  It turns out these two bands would be 
the mainstays.  I did make a few Qs on 20 and 40 and even one on 160, but none 
on 80.  Top band isn't exactly a hotbed of SSB activity.  Saturday and Sunday 
operating shared time other domestic things so this was far from a concerted 
effort.

Nevertheless, as time passed and I made more contacts , I started to set little 
goals, if I had 100 Qs I'd try for 150, if I had 50,000 points, I'd try for 
100,000. My final goals were 300 contacts and 200,000 points.  About an hour 
before the contest ended I hit both and quit.  Unfortunately, after the contest 
while totaling my score, I saw that for one contact with CE, I never entered the 
suffix. Oops, back to 299 contacts but still over 200K points. I worked 91 
countries and 32 zones.
