Comments:

We were considering a casual participation effort due to operator availability. 
But, it came together at the last minute with three full time ops, one with
limited time due to illness and one operating Sunday afternoon.

We tried to maximize our run station's performance by managing the band changes
very carefully.  It appears we got it right in this one.

Our team's focus on keeping the run stations going was excellent, although
available operator time impacted our S&P efforts.  We experienced several
extended periods of QRM to our run frequencies on 40M & 20M.

80M we could not get solid runs going the first night, signals were strong but
were unable to work them.  Resorted to low rate S&P.  Second night we ran, but
at low rates.

The improvement we experienced with the recently modified 40M beam in the SSB
contest was again confirmed in this one.  Our Q's almost doubled from last
year.

We had a big improvement in 20M performance by better band management and focus
on openings.  It was very exciting near the end of the contest working new
multipliers long path at 140 degrees.

Thanks to all the callers, the great competition and the sponsors for holding
this wonderful event!

And, a big thank you to everyone that helps maintain and improve the station.

A super special congratulations to the WE3C Team for your outstanding efforts
and performances in both of the 2008 CQWW DX events!

73,

The WE3C Team
