Comments:

Things started out slow but picked up good Saturday evening.  Ten meters sucked 
once again from the NW.  Get a chuckle outa reading how great 10 was from the 
East coast!  W4ZV only doubled the previous single band 10 score...what a pity!

JA activity seemed down again in this one but mebbe poor 10m prop just made it 
seem that way?  Only 500 JA Qsos on all bands...used to make that many on 40m 
alone.  Over 1300 EU Q's and about 700 U.S. Q' rounded out the majority of 
stations worked.  Very little Africa and Carib tho.

Found 160 meters to be worthless.  Only XE2MX made it into our log even tho we 
were there every wee hour at the top of the hour.  Did not expect or plan for a 
lot of 160 activity but surely more than one Q.  

Was again amazed but the number of dupe stns calling...95 total...don't know 
what they copied the first time or two they called but sure as hell not Ai7b!
Once again this confirmed my decision to dump Ai7b as my primary call in favor 
of W7GG.  Logged all dupes so will let the log checkers figure out what 
happened.  

All in all a  good time was had by all.  Better 10m prop surely would have 
helped the score.  Thanks to all for the contacts de Bob, W7GG.
