Comment: First day condx very poor on 20m, a very short opening in the
         beginning of the contest, but not to many stns were readable.
         Band opens up at 10.30 but not to much activity. I guess
everyone
         was looking on 15 and 10m. Good westcoast signals at 17.00 UTC
         but after 21.00 on first evening everything slows down.
         Was a real hard struggel for every new QSO, ended at 02.00
while
         nothing was coming.

         Second day the same situation, band opens up at 10.30, but the
qso
         rate was very slow, 100 qso in about 4 hours, what was wrong?
         But finaly the end of the contest made things better, a nice
         bandopening until midnight brings the score up a little bit.

         Worked all US-States on the first day, but hard to find a new
         multiplier on second. Dont get at all a VY2, is there no CW op
         in that area?? VO2 and VE8 is always a lottorie to get as
         multiplier, wonder if anyone worked this 3 provinces in
         the contest.
         Anyway, we had fun and hope to hear you again.
