Comments:

In comparison to last year 160 SSB contest, this time the static crashes were
almost nonexistent making the operating much more easier. I think the
conditions were also better or perhaps the VP6 operation has attracted a large
crowd of operators.  Still it was very painful to copy weak signals among all
the big signals on the band, but I guess this is just the nature of contesting
using phone mode on top band.  

The finest hour was EU opening during their Sunrise between 5:30Z and 6:30Z. It
did not repeat on Sunday though. Also, a big thanks to VY2SS, PJ2DX and YU1XX
for calling in just minutes before the end of the contest.

Other than typically rare Canadian provinces I missed only VE5.  All US states
made it into the log. I also missed KL7, KP2 and D4C. I worked KH6 as I
stumbled on KH6ND by accident for I started calling CQ on his run frequency
while I was listening on EU beverage.   Sorry !
