           Soapbox : I made a setup error in my logger which created a 
problem when
                     logging each QSO. This created a long delay to 
complete each
                     contact. This was so frustrating that I considered 
throwing in
                     the towel and heading back home. But the conditions 
(WX and
                     propagation) were so good that those overrode this 
rash impulse.

                     I decided to trim my planned route down and push on 
at the slower
                     pace. Later, when I compared my 2023 effort, I 
discovered I had
                     made the same number of QSOs this year!

                     I decided to enter CW only, 20m only. After reading 
some of the
                     other comments I might have missed a better 
opportunity on 40m.
                     Despite my problems, and a few days to understand 
my software
                     setup mistake, I do consider the Party to be 
enjoyable! It was
                     a nice outing even though the original plan had to 
be scrubbed.

                     Thank you West Allis Radio Amateur Club for 
sponsoring this
                     annual event.
