What a nice week end!  I can't remember such good conditions, and even better
for a contest.
Never heard so strong signals all over North America, never heard so strong 
signals more than one hour after sunrise. Unbeleivable! We all know K9DX, he
was 30 dB over S9, just like a local station, and he was not the only one.
All west coast stations were strong, almost as the ones from the east coast.
I worked CA, OR, WA several times, States I never heard before.
Now I have to find 3 stations to complete my WAS from ND, ID and HI.
KB7Q was still audible at 0800z it was about 45 minutes after my sunrise, but
it was too late he didn't hear me. 
The problem is that when you can find a "clear" frequency you have hard time 
to leave it, because you don't know how long it will take to find another 
one later...
So of course you miss some multipliers.
I also worked a new one with 4U1UN as #188.
A shame VP9/N1... didn't show up below 1850 kHz he could have been #189, but 
he was out of band for me.
Second, also a shame, this contest takes place the same week end as our REF 
contest, I shared my time between the two contests and some times also from 
the Radio Club F6KLO. 
So, of course my scoring is not very good. I wish I could spend all the time of
the week end for this contest. It was this year I should have done that!

160 meters is a magic band, it's why we love it!

See you on the band 73/88 F8BPN Mau
