This was not a very interesting contest, and I had a hard time staying at 
the mic.  My score is less than half of last year, principally due to the 
poorer propogation conditions this year.  Most of the signals I heard seemed 
to come South America and the Caribbean - I sure missed those great openings 
to Europe on 10 meters that we had for most of the day last year.   Also, it 
seems like there were fewer DX stations on the air this year, as I ran out 
of new stations to work much earlier than in past years. 

But my biggest frustration was a serious hearing degradation due to a recent 
cold.  It's hard enough to pick out the call sign with the heavy accents and 
serious overmodulation, without the added problem of poor hearing.  I even 
hooked up a graphic EQ in the headphone circuit to try and improve 
intelligibility.   I've made continuous improvements to my station over the 
last few years, and for the most part the other stations are hearing me well 
 - but now I can't hear them!
