Contester I am not

Much to my surprise I made 42 contact during this past weekend’s ARRL DX contest.  I cannot confirm it, but that just may be more than the sum total of all the contest contacts I have ever made.  There is not one reason why I worked so many (for me) stations, but since working DX is not so easy with 25 watts and an attic antenna it was nice to be heard.  And no , it did not make me a contester.  Not even close!
