Comments:

Seemed like a very long contest even when I finished at 1700Z Sunday.  I set
some lofty goals; some I achieved; some I did not.  I was hoping for 2000 QSO's
but that didn't happen.  I was looking for over 500 multipliers and 4000 QSO
points.  Was happy to see the mult total going so high.  It's funny I didn't
set a goal to break the USA LP record, which I did handily.

This is a personal best score, best point total and best prefix total for me. 
I used a different strategy for this contest and it mostly worked but I didn't
think 15 would open.  Who knew it would be good both days?

Best contact was VK6HD calling me on 80 meters Sunday morning.  There were too
many highlights to mention.  The biggest lowlight was the number of stations
that did not have my call correctly and I could get back through to them to
make sure it was right.  So I guess my score will be somewhat lower.

Thanks to CQ for putting on a great contest.  The propagation was the best I've
seen for a RTTY contest in a LONG time even though the numbers were down. 
Thanks to everyone for the contacts for making this my best WPX ever!

73, Don AA5AU
