Comments:

  Great Contest!  Conditions were very similar to those in 1999.  I bettered my 
1999 score by 200k by a simple strategy change of getting up at 4 am local on 
Saturday for a JA run of 6-pointers on 40.  I had virtually the same QSO total 
in 1999, but had fewer on 40 and more on 20 then, hence a slightly lower score. 
 For some reason no JA runs on 10, 15 or 20, though there were loud signals 
from there in our afternoons. I kept turning the antenna to the NW hoping to 
lure them out, but never succeeded.
  WPX is such a democratic contest: I love the fact that you can skip the 
pileup on 3V8BB, then slide up a few kHz and get the same points by working a 
new prefix in Sweden.
  Ran the contest on a new laptop, and had a lot of trouble with the keyboard 
for a few hours.  Don't like that row of similar function keys with no gaps as 
on a regular keyboard -- sorry to those I confused after a QSO by hitting F6 
and sending QRL?, instead of F5 for TU AE6Y TEST, hi. 
  Rig: TS950SDX, Ten-Tec Titan, 3 el 10-20, 2 el 40. CQPWIN 9.0 software
