Random musings:

My first time to break 100k. Look out world!!! *cough cough*
I didn't call CQ once. All S&P. Just havin' fun :)
I got one (1) non-599 signal report. Thank you DL0SRB.
Where were KL7 and KH6 hiding?
That 6D2X score: *WOW*
How about NP4Z or P49V scores? I got them (and 6D2X) on 5 bands.

Propagation:

I didn't think it was so bad, at least here in the deep South...
10 was par for this point in the sunspot cycle: no EU or JA but strong
Latin America and Pacific.
15 to Europe was quite good I thought! Quite a few honest 5x9 signals.
Good opening to South Africa on Sunday. JA was too weak for me to work.
20 was great to OH and northern UA1 right at the start. The rest of the time
was pretty boring. I slept late both mornings though.
40 was better than usual I'd say. Strong Europe and Pacific, and even the
big gun JAs were hitting S5 on my meter around 0900Z. That *is* rare.
80, 160: yuck! Static from hell. Period.

Gripes:

The one needed DXCC counter I heard, 7P8EZ, couldn't hear me! *sniff*
I don't know if its the logging programs or what, but folks had trouble
believing WQ5L is in AL. They either copy WQ4L & AL, or WQ5L & AR. 
Argh!

    It is a vastly different contest working from G than VE5. There
    actually is DX on 80m's.
