It looks like I have managed to beat my own Norwegian record from 2002, but with very low margin. I have received too few QTCs this time, and my multiplier is far too low, even though I have operated two radios. I need to focus more on finding multipliers next time.

The conditions to USA the second day were great but it was still very hard to work 15 meters most of the time. And 10m was dead as usual.

It looks like I had too low emphasis on low bands compared to others, I and missed too many multipliers there. And yes, 80m is very hard too work from here this time of the year.

I need to plan better for the low bands and select pauses at the right times. I lost a lot on 15m towards East, and on the low bands in the evening. Next time I will focus more on multipliers and not on the number of QSOs and QTCs.

But surely high speed QSOs and QTCs is what makes this contest so cool!
