Comments:

Combination antenna work/WAE weekend.  We worked on the new 3el 160m vertical
array (almost done now) and other misc. station maintenance.  XX recently put up
an M2 7el 10m Yagi @ 190' on the 20m tower (fully rotary on a RingRotor). 
Worked well on Sunday for the scatter path opening to EU.  No 10m QSOs on
Saturday...Saturday condx were generally pretty bad.  QRN on 40/80m Friday night
was bad.  Saturday better.

We noticed that it wasn't very hard to dump QTCs.  Got called very frequently
for QTCS, even more than normal, it seemed.  Sent QTCs from fairly early in the
contest.  Not many fills...we also sent QTCs on the slower side, except for
known QRQ guys.  EU ops...if you want them faster just send "QRQ" before we
start spewing QTCs to you.

Congrats to the N3RD and K2NG crews for FB M/S scores.  And to N2NC and K4JA
(K9GY) for FB SOAB efforts.  I think Single Op is a lot more fun, especially
with the new SO2R rule.  Trying to do 48 hours in this contest is tough.  Some
time on Sunday morning it dawned on me that 36 hours for Multi-Op would be a
fine idea.  Or make the contest 36 hours starting at 00Z Friday or perhaps adopt
a 24 hour format, as I think K5ZD suggested.

Thanks again to the WAEDC Contest Committee for a fine summer contest.  We still
need to do more here in the USA and the rest of the world to increase the
activity in this one.
