Finished early this year. Had a great run and thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Condx were decent enough to beat what should be my old
USA LP record from back in 2005. First time over 2 million points!

Seemed like a very long contest even when I finished at 1700Z Sunday. I set
some lofty goals; some I achieved; some I did not. I
was hoping for 2000 QSO's but that didn't happen. I was looking for over 500
multipliers and 4000 QSO points. Was happy to see the
mult total going so high. It's funny I didn't set a goal to break the USA LP
record, which I did handily.
This is a personal best score, best point total and best prefix total for me.
I used a different strategy for this contest and it mostly worked but I didn't
think 15 would open. Who knew it would be good both
days?
Best contact was VK6HD calling me on 80 meters Sunday morning. There were too
many highlights to mention. The biggest lowlight was
the number of stations that did not have my call correctly and I could get back
through to them to make sure it was right. So I
guess my score will be somewhat lower.
Thanks to CQ for putting on a great contest. The propagation was the best I've
seen for a RTTY contest in a LONG time even though
the numbers were down.
Thanks to everyone for the contacts for making this my best WPX ever!
73, Don AA5AU
