Comments:

Wow.  Not at all what I expected for conditions.  The high bands were great and
the low bands were a challenge (to put it nicely).  Not complaining at all.  It
was fun!

Slept 2 hours the first night.  My daughter's soccer game was cancelled due to
rain so didn't have to stop on Sat morning.  Got to stay home and enjoy the
great rates.

On the second night, it was so slow that I decided it would be worth far more
to sleep and be ready for the daylight hours than it would be to chase a few
extra mults.  DX contests are really fun on Sunday after you sleep 5 hours!

More great rates on Sunday - especially on 15m. Thanks to GW4BLE for alerting
me that 10m was open.  Seemed like multi-hop E.  Heard HZ1GW running Europeans
on 10m, but couldn't break the pileup. 

Nice to see so many new calls from Europe.  The elimination of CW is a good
thing for contest rates!  Most worked countries:
Germany      579
Italy        331
England      256
Spain        218
France       195
Netherlands  127
Canada       122
Japan         98  <- Wow!  I usually work just a few.  All on 20m.
 

I like this contest because there seem to be an unlimited number of
multipliers.  Just wish some stations would remember that not everyone is on
packet, so they do need to send their calls and announce their listening
frequencies every once in awhile.

Everyone is still figuring out how to handle the new allocations on 40 and 75. 
Still seems to be best to work split, but sure is nice to be able to call guys
on their own frequency at times.

Streaming audio ran all weekend.  Have the contest recorded, but not sure I
want to listen to all that QRM again.  Will post the sound files to my web site
after the log submission deadline.
