Soapbox: Great fun - doubled my score by adding 1/3 more Mults & 1/3 more Q's than last 
year.  Some great Asia DX - China, Tiawan - first time from home station!  Eu was short and
sweet again this year.  Beamed EU and worked our American neighbours off the back of the
beam, but Eu was not strong or long.  Should have spend some more time on CW to pick up 
more mults during the Eu openings... I was having such fun running I often forgot.  Had a 
good 8 hours of over 100+ per hour during Sat. and at least 4 hours 100+ per hour on Sun.  
Little better results from Asia/Pacfic/VK than last year, but less action from SA.  Should 
have tried for some more CW mults, but my CW is really not up to contest levels.  First 
ever 1800+ Q count from my home station... on a single band to boot!

Thanks to all those who stopped by - great turn out from the US hams  Only missed ND & SD 
for WAS in a single contest.  See you in the next set.
