Wow, what an interesting contest.  Operated first 3 hours, took 5 off, then 
operated for another hour, then one off, then 4 more.  Rates were fantastic 
both running and S&P.  Had a real good run on 15m phone to EU in 2nd hour 
of the contest.  Also a 147 hour at 00Z on 40m -- mostly zone 29 stations. 
 That was a blast.

Worked a number of EU on 10m CW and Phone.  Heard R3HQ/6 but he couldn't 
hear me.

160 was amazingly good.  Some static but the EU stations seemed to be 
hearing MUCH better than normal.  Kind of funny to have 6 EU HQ stations 
and not work zone 27, 28 or 29!  W1AW/7 was really loud on top band.

Probably would have done a bit better but the Yaesue FT-920 I was test 
driving seemed to have some kind of receiver problem and lots of filter 
blow by.
