Comments:

What an interesting Contest.  I had a bad feeling when the Flux was 84 and the A
Index 40 at the start.  Was it ever slow down here.  Had a goal of 500Q's, but
took every minute of 24Hrs to log 332.

Sporadic openings here and there, First 12 hours had only worked a handful of NA
Mults and a few JA's.  Nothing from EU until about 1 1/2 hours before Sunset on
40M.  Even then, some signals there were light. Had a nice late night EU opening
on 15/20,managed to grab more mults there.  Did work EM1HO, but nothing from
AF.

Kept pushing my first rest period, did not want to miss any opening.  Finally
decided I was running out of options, so took my first rest during the night as
eastern EU/AS sigs were fading.  Thought I could catch Western EU before Sunrise
on 40, only found a few more.  So, 15 was the money band for me this time
around, Did make more Q's on 10 than imagined.

Thanks for the Q's es 73,

Wes  W3SE / ZL3TE
