Sounds like fun, Rusty. Goals are good. Especially when they lead to multipliers and new countries.

With that minor accomplishment, I started setting goals for myself, like let’s just get to 10,000 points, then let's keep going to 25 DXCC countries, then let’s stop at 100Qs.  You die hard contesters know how it goes.  Conditions were poor on 20, but 40 was good to us, and 80M was bread & butter, but the going was really tough, with many repeats.  I hoped to hang in there until UK sunrise, but called it quits just before 0200 local.
