I was on with the local club. I was mostly on 75 and 40, but I also did a little 20. I stayed up all night with a couple others switching off between operating, logging, and fetching caffeinated beverages.

I was on for 12 hours, running CW with a straight key.  Started off around 30 WPM but was down to 18 by the end of the night!!  Think my wrist is still sore.  20 meters only.  Total QSO's around 400.  Think I got nearly every multiplier though.  Meh.  Used an old Kenwood into a dipole.
