50% of my qso's this contest were with EU...unbelievable...I don't think
that has ever happened.  My biggest question is "What happened to the
JA's?"  My normal runs did not materialize.  I did work many JA's but the
quantity was not there.  No complaints though...it was a pleasure to have
15,20m open round the clock to EU.  10m was a huge disappointment.  I know
I missed some stuff there but 15 was the place to be.  I had trouble again
with a local noise source in the neighborhood that I've yet to run down.
It's not too bad on 15m, but I must apologize to those I either missed or
struggled with on 20m.

I missed the SSB WPX test because I had a baseball tournament to play in
Las Vegas.  We had another one this weekend and I'm sure glad I stayed for
the contest instead.  I had a blast in this one!
