Mostly a fun event for us!  WPX does not allow much creativity
by the operators due to the 10-minute-rule.  However, it has been
a useful antenna test which again inspired us to add some horizontal
array for 40m.  The 3/3 vertical did not yield much of an EU-pileup
so we were stuck to 80/160 most of the night.

Highlights:

  .  short 160m US-pileup Sunday morning
  .  getting 9+20 from W5 several times on 40m while
     eastcoast often struggled with our signal
  .  highest band total on 15m, sunspots are back!!
  .  intensive 10m PY/LU opening Sunday evening

Congrats to DL6FBL for beating several Multi Op scores.


Can't wait for CW.
