Comments:  Still one of my favourite contests stikes me as a DX
hunters dream.  Highlights were being called by TZ6DX and VQ9NL plus
the conditions would generally support running for me with 100 Watts
quite often, although rates were less than spectacular at times.  
Surprised to miss some of the closer mults (HC8L on 40 and TI5N on 
40 to 160).  Met J38A late in the contest on a couple of bands for new
mults and can only assume they were busy throughout the test.  Funny 
how sometimes I can work some carribean stations on 5 or 6 bands but 
not hear others until the end of the contest.  Sure wish I could hear 
europe on 80 since there were a few requests for schedules...could 
hear the east coast guys working europe on 80, but it is difficult 
from western Canada and a city lot.

Largest Q totals in eroupe for me were DL-121, OK-77, S5-54, UA-53, 
and I-38.  Largest Q's overall was JA-158 as expected.

Please look for me in the SSB portion.


This is to certify that in this contest I have operated
my transmitter within the limitations of my license and have
observed fully the rules and regulations of the contest.
