Comments:

I had over one third of my Qs in the first 3 hours ( 131 Qs in first hour and
108 in hour 2) and then slugged it out for the rest of the time.  I thought
conditions to Eu were poor with Saturday night being the better of the two
nights.  California and the West Coast were weak most of the time also.    I
never worked HI or AK and missed several other CA sections that I heard but
couldn't get through.  I ended up missing 4 CA sections. Never heard ND, MB,
PR, or NT.  OK1AVY was the loudest Eu station worked with GJ2T coming in
second.  The breakdown of Qs included 908 US, 66 VEs, 38 DX.

On Saturday evening I had been on 1808.6 running for over an hour when a well
known VE3 came on 1808.5 with no question if the frequecy was in use or
anything and proceeded to call CQ for the next 2 hours.  I politely asked him
to QSY several times and he didn't even respond.  I'm sure he could hear me but
he choose to ignore me.  I closed up the filter to 400 Hz and continued to run. 
His key clicks were also terrible.  A little more courtesy is expected from
these well known contesters.

Station
FT2000 with 3kHz Roofing filter
Alpha 8410 at 1500 Watts
Inverted L 70 feet vertical with 60 ground radials
(2) 500 foot Reversible Beverages NE/SW and NW/SE

Thanks for the Qs and I'll see you in the 10 Meter Contest.

73, Jack W4NF
