Comments:

Condx down from last year:
- 10m yielded in only 100 Qs from one opening on Sunday compared to 
  1,200 Qs in 2006
- Worked only 3 Ws on 15m, no VE, UA9/0s very weak on that band
- Extensive quiet periods particularly on Saturday with weak resulting in
  increased S&P activity and lowest total score in 4 years of CQWW from 
  Cocos

RIG: K2 + Amp
     Spiderbeam @ 8m (20-15-10)
     2 ele wire inv vee fixed to EU @ 13m (40)
     Force 12 Vertical V80E (80)
     Dipol @ 6m (160) - too low, no time to set up vertical

Will be back next year - I love Cocos!!!
