Comments:

This was the contest where OH4XX took its first QSOs ever.The very first
one was VE6SV.
Both afternoons band was really crowded! It was really hard to find a
good spot to call CQ or
in the matter of fact any spot at all! And if you found a reasonable frq
then after ten 
minutes or so somebody was only half khz away of your frq calling CQ
contest!! 
If you went to tell that frq was already in use,response was CQ
Contest...that really sucks!!! 
Anyway had some good runs, best last ten rate in CT was around 260  and
best last 100
was around 150. I felt desperate when I knew that there was lots
stations calling me but
I could not copy since QRM level was very high. Anyhow thanks to all and
CU in WPX as 
OH7AAC (M/S).
