The Marconi Memorial Contest is the last major VHF contest of the year. And it is the only one CW only.

Nevertheless, I managed to work 177 stations in about 10 hours effective time resulting in a (claimed) score of 56.000 points.
The conditions were below normal. Most activity from eastern Europe:
