Hi,
My goal was 700 Qs and 250,000 points.
I almost got it, however condx were pretty bad to EU so I am missing the mults
from there. The only EU I heard was I5JVA and I managed to get a few VE3??? from
him but that was it. Before the contest I heard and worked my first UA6 from
home twice in a week and he wasn't weak. Lots of EU too but not in the
contest.
To the south however candx were excellent. PR0F was 59+ time to time. Missed
P43P, heard him calling stations back but he never called me...hi 
No RX antenna and I don't think I would need it anyway. I would waste my time
chasing all the DX I may hear and they not going to hear my 100w anyway. One of
the highlights was getting a call from FY5KE to my CQ and another to work
KH7X.
This is from the new contest rules:
"THE DX WINDOW IS DROPPED FOR BOTH SECTIONS"
...but some still complaining. DX window in the contest is good for argument and
confusion only. We should be able to use 160 meters up to 1900 KHz for CW in the
contest otherwise everybody going to be forced to use kilowatts.
Currently low power stations are left out of the whole band plan picture.
Other then that it's fun to work on 160m even from the big city.
See you in the ARRL contest.
