  Final Score = 115704 points.

Equipment: FT1000MP & Clipperton-L (700W is all it will do on 160M)
                     Inverted Vee apex at 95 feet; NO receive antennas

First time doing this contest.  It was fun.  I thought conditions were
OK.  The best EU opening seemed to be Saturday sunset here.
There were loud EU signals everywhere for about 30-45 minutes,
but some EU alligators (see list below).  Morning sunrise openings
both days were poor, I thought.

DX worked in order: CM, ZF (worked 4 ZF stations!), V4, 8P, DL,
    SP, KP2, YV, S5, OZ (OZ7YY calls me!), V31, G, XE, GW, UA2,
    F, I, OK, VP2E, KH6

US/VE missed: DC, MS, MT, NE, NV, VE4, VE8, VE9, VO1, VO2, VY1, VY2;
   of these heard but missed: MT & VE9

EU alligators report (heard and workable on this end but couldn't hear
   me): UA6LZ, LA0CX (very loud), IK2MMF, YZ6A, & 4X4NJ
   (Riki you were very loud at my Saturday sunset but you CQed in my face
:-(

73,
