Comments:

This contest needs a low power class for Non Asia stations. I just cant get
serious about AA when it would require me to compete with the big antenna/high
power stations with 100 watts.

Conditions were strange. Asian signals were weak the first night and Qrn was
low. Signals were much louder the second night, that good because Qrn was up
quite a bit.  Most signals displayed a rapid Qsb. Signals originating from the
mainland US would go from S-3/4 to 20 over on every cw character, the qsb was
that fast and deep.  There was a lack of non JA activity, at least on 40M. 
I operated one hour (2 30M periods) the first night and two hours the second
night, most before the band really stabalized. The rest of the time I went to
contesting continuing education classes. I attended the WR6M "smooth as silk"
operating siminar for one session each night. Kazu is smooth and predictable, no
confusion in his pile up. I have this picture in my mind of Kazu operating, he
is so relaxed that he may fall asleep if the rate falls off. I also attended the
K8IA "if your loud you deserve an attitude" class. Bob was louder than loud from
before the band opened till whenever he quit. The picture of Bob operating is
that of a guy who selects his best HARLEY tee shirt, kick starts the keyer
(keyers with attitude dont have woosie on/off buttons) and then proceeds to
leave scorch marks all over the F-2 layer.  KM4M and WO4O had nice signals, does
the letter in your prefix have to match the letter in your suffex to do AA from
4-Land?   Nice to hear K3ZO doing his thing on 40.  AA is always fun but again,
Iwish they would consider a low power class for non Asians.
