Comments:

My official contest entry will be SOSB/80 like last year with raw score of
21,365  (only 13,500 in 2008 with 50 mults).

Had to jump on 160, 40 and 20 for som DXing while 80m was nothing but DUPEs.
Conditions first night were much better.  Most EU stayed just above the noise
for a consstant 3 hours, but finally got stranger after 0400 (S3 because of
raging blizzard and winds the whole contest!)  Some EU where in by back yard
even 1+ hour after their sunrise.
All S&P as running doesn't work for me in LP.  Almost always my calling freq
becomes the exact same as an EU Op who can't hear me calling.

Thanks to a lot of great OPs who dug me out of their noise.  Cudos to ZM1A!
Nice to work KL6 and KH6 on both 160 and 80. No JAs.
TS-950SDX and 80m (132ft) Zepp at 10m (30ft) worked great with N1MM.

Logs will be posted to eQSL and LoTW.
Thanks for a fun contest and lets hope we have great condx for the CQ160SSB!
