    Final Score = 254409 points.

I just worked part time of contest starting 15 PM on Saturday until 5 am on
Sunday, totally 11+ hours. Conditions were not good at all. Just 15 m was
nicely open on Saturday evening. But 20 m seemed to be very puor on nigth.
40 m was open in morning, even QRM/QRN made receiving sometimes difficult.
On 80 I managed to work only big guns. Aurora was spoiling that band.
Caribea was coming through much stronger than stateside. Bitty to say but
that is very usual from skandinavia.

On 160 m we had supper opening on sunday morning, about 10 ? 15 min before
sunrise. But not to sates because of aurora, only to caribean area. I
worked (outside of contest) even 4 new countries on top band 8P6, J3, FY
and HI !!!.
Signals wery really strong there.
