I agree Michiel.

There have been times on Dxpeditions especially around dawn after an
all-night session that I have made simple mistakes. It has not been until
later when I have run through the tape that I have realised what a simple
error I had made..

Tiredness really does play a big part. We often dx from 6pm - 7am.

You need short breaks every few hours.. make  a meal or coffee and even do
silly things like Craig Edwards and I do at the Coorong in South Australia..
have a midnight game of cricket or football outside..
