 Soapbox Comments
 ________________

 The big surprise was finding 15 meters open to JA,VS6,YB,DU for several 
hours
 from 1AM to 3AM local time. I picked up several multipliers as a result.
 This continues to be one of my favorite contests. Love the 24 hour format
 instead of 48. The WRTC was an "interesting distraction" which led to a lot 
 of low point QSO's in the future I think "in zone" WRTC QSO's should count 2 
 points
