It's a short contest set up to favor Eastern Europe. Makes sense for
them, but not much for the rest of the universe. I had about 40 QSOs, mostly
on the higher bands. All of them were tough because the bands were never
optimal for me at the time of the contest. Mostly comic relief from the ARRL
DX Phone.
I spent a lot of the time spotting stations for others to hear and work
and maybe stir up a bit more activity.
N1MM sort of worked for me but didn't handle the exchange (XXNNN) properly
if the QTH field was pre-filled. To make it convenient, I'd delete any
pre-fill and then click on the exchange. Also, N1MM let me do the dupe
determination, rather than flagging it directly. A minor inconvenience since
it
did show the previous QSOs at the bottom of the log. I just had to pay
attention to the band and time.
I saw the log rules and they seemed rather draconian, but I'll submit my
log to help others out. I would encourage others to do the same.

No logging or scoring issues. I did not hear or work one QSO in the
contest. I did listen in all for sessions. No signals to my QTH in South
Texas.
Maybe next year

If anyone has made any QSOs in this contest, please submit the log.
>From the rules:
" Valid QSOs will be confirmed to participant if all cross-checked data
in logs is present and correct.
Please send your LOG even if you made only a few QSOs, it will give valid
points to other participants."
In other words, if you worked someone and don't submit a log, they don't
get the points!
