Comments:

I have discovered how to enjoy Phone contests.
1. Invite a guest op to come over and do the contest.
2. If you can't do #1, then play!

Operated 6 hours Friday night and 10 hours on Sunday.  Was fun to chase DX that 
first night without the pressure of always having to maximize the score.

Got up early Sunday with the goal of getting to 1Meg.  My first 3 hours of rate 
were the best I have every experienced from the USA:

D2-1100Z    -       -      3/2    42/2   191/40     -    236/44    829/268 
D2-1200Z    -       -       -       -    164/11   27/8   191/19   1020/287 
D2-1300Z    -       -       -       -       -    201/15  201/15   1221/302 

That is 627 QSOs in 3 hours!  Qrate shows a best hour of 256 QSOs at 1217Z.  It 
was fun to be fresh meat!  Propagation was great and very long so I had a clear 
frequency without the usual USA backscatter QRM.
