Was a good contest, conditions seemed fair (not great, but fair) and quite stable. I managed 19 qsos in a total of 48 minutes operating time which usually I would think was pretty dire, but I was only using 5w from my Yaesu FT-817 to a Diamond CP5 trapped vertical, so I am actually quite happy with that. Will try to get a bit more operating time in next year!
Sounds like you had a good time! I myself didn't do that much in the contest around 60 contacts. On my 718. Mostly South America is what I heard DX wise.
Thanks for favoriting my video...:) Enjoy CW!

Very good.... I worked the CW only part of the 2008 IARU HF Contest. It was a lot of fun.
Take care.
