Observations:

I agree with Steve, N2IC this is a great contest!  Good starting time, even at 5AM in the west coast, and a chance to sleep some on Sunday and get back to work on Monday!  (Just wish we had more of that CO propagation out here.)

160:	Surprsingly good ... easy to work east coast, VE and KL7 mults from here for mults.

80:	Too few JAs but that's to be expected during the summer.  Would have been nice to work our typical asian mults - 9V, YC, DU, etc.  but the VKs were nice.

40:	Great domestic band lots of interesting mults but nothing spectacular.  Yes, I remember, its summer propagation.  The noise was awful.  Glad I did this on CW.

20:	This was the band.  Fair EU opening.  Enjoyed the local midnight opening to EU, and cool mults like D2, 5B4.  Would have been nice to hear a few more AF.

15:	I miss you JAs.  Had a 70+ hour at 11AM local but propagation was marginal thereafter.

10:	Got a local to give me a mult!

All in all, a great primer for the fall contesting season.  New tower up, rotating and begging for stacks.  Back to the tower work.  

Very 73
