2) Exceed 430 Multipliers 
3) Break the existent XE SOAB(A) HP record 
4) Attempt to close the gap (or break it) the current XE CW record on
multiplier totals.

Rig : FT-1000MP + AL-800H

Antennas : Cushcraft Log Periodic ASL-2010 @ 25 meters height
                Alpha Delta DX-A Twin Slopper

DAY 1
Started the contest right on time, and  most of the time doing S&P;
despite 10m was a joke, decent condx on 15M and 20M. Joy lasted 4 hours when a
Thunderstorm came in 
and forced me to shut down everything and went to bed.

Late start on Saturday morning at 1341z, an hour later learned that
I needed to head back to the office to solve technical issues.
 
After 3 hours, I was back again, with pretty decent on 20M and 15M.
Read a work related e-mail ( big mistake),  a hard stopping  at 1824z and
resumed 4 hours later.

At the end of Day 1 -to my dismay, I was way down on  score points, QSOs (less
than 500), and mults.

DAY 2
Pushed harder and delighted to found 40m in good shape and marveled  with one 
of the most spectacular 20M openings on Europe, Asia and the  Pacific, that
I've ever experienced on CW,
This happened from 0548z to 0834z (0148 am -3:34 am).

I was really exhausted and went to sleep at 0840z       

Started on our Sunday morning at 1420z on 15 Meters with Europe open; checked
the RBN at  1856z and despite excellent signal reports from W1-W3 skimmers,
there were almost no stateside stations; so, I turned my beam and grabbed all
the South American stations I heard.

Closed strongly on 15M and devoted the last 40 minutes doing S&P to grab as
many mults as possible.

Results: 
1. Short by 400 Q's but  score 2X  better than target.
2. Mults: almost doubled. 
3. Mults 100 more than current XE record
4. Exceeded the current record by almost 100.

So, undoubtedly the numbers confirm that this has been the best  result I 've
ever had on  18 years of participation.
