My headphones are a bit more comfortable.

Of course my company paid for it while I was still working. I had it out to
a couple of past FD’s.

I don’t like headphones pressing on my ears, although there are probably
some high-end which are designed for comfort that might not be too bad.  But
in CW and RTTY contests I go with these cheapies ($7.04 and free shipping)
which work fine and don’t cover the ears:

Nice prefix total.

Another fun contest. But, I can only take so much with headphones on. My
time spent is inflated, because I didn’t realize until well into the contest
that the minimum time off is 1 hour; and I was taking frequent breaks to
clear my head for half hour or ¾ hour at a time.

Only about 4% of the contacts were made in the RUN mode. Conditions were
screwy with lots of QSB on 10 and 15 meters, and with constant repeats I
backed off and did selective S&P getting as many prefixes (multipliers) as I
could.

I could have had more contacts on 80 meters, but the typical Summer static
on 80 meters is kicking in, and it drove me crazy after 5 minutes.

DRCG WW RTTY Contest in two weeks, and the Ukrainian DX Classic RTTY in
three.
