Comments:

To start the contest we switched forth and back between 80, 40 and 160m. 40 m
was super the first night. Open till Saturday noon time locally (11.13Z). 
Now it was time to check 20m. We cleaned up whatever was available and then we
took advantage of the little opening for 1 hour on 15 m.
Back to 20 m from 13.15Z till 20.25Z non stop.
The operators had other obligations beside contesting so Karel ON5TN left early
Saturday afternoon for work and Jim ON5UM went home in the evening.
I decided to wake up early Sunday 04.00Z to check 160 m. Worked whatever was
heard and switched to 80m. Wow that was a really great move. Worked my first NE
on that band.
20 m opened early Sunday 11.30Z but fatigue made me rest for 1 hour. I woke up
at 12.30Z when Jim came to releive me. At 14.30Z 15 m opened again for a little
more than 1 hour so the clean team came into action.
Back to 20 m till 21.00Z with great runs. After that big effort Jim went home.
I spent the last 3 hours of the contest on 40 m with a super run of 257 q's at
a rate of 112/h

Thanks to all who hear and logged us and sorry for those we missed or those who
tried in vain.
All in all a very nice contest with a lot of fun.
73 es cu in the next leg
