Conditions were unbelievable. Band strategies were difficult since so many 
bands were open. Sat nite 10 15 20 were all open the entire nite from the 
Caribbean. A common event was hearing JA EU and US equally strong and all 
workable simultaneously. Unruly behavior slowed the rate, with stations 
refusing to stand by when we were clearly working someone. We still managed 
100/hr average for the contest.Because of the longer exchange and necessary 
repeat requests on the serial numbers, we were pleased with the results.
Congrats to the CY9RF crew for a fine showing.

I will be on the island until Tuesday AM, so will try to be on the WARC 
bands as much as possible until then. Also, low bands Monday night.
