Comments:

Fun contest. Although looks like propagation wasn't quite as good as it was two
weeks earlier in CQWW CW. This showed especially in difficulty on working some
Eastern European countries. We worked a lot of EA, F, G*, CT but DL and east
from there were rare and tough to work. Sunday opening was better than Saturday
but still not as good as in CQWW.

European morning openings always started with skew path (approx. from east) and
then about an our after sunrise direct path (~30 degrees) opened. On JA side we
noticed JAs fading away for a while but then to open again to provide more JAs
to the log until 0250Z.

Also, Es openings have been bread and butter in this contest in last few years
but there weren't that many even if we were QRV most of Saturday evening in
hope of catching those. Some of these Es openings were also very focused
(CO/WY/OK/TX/NM/AZ). Some of them were strong (skimmers reporting us 30db) but
nobody calling us. Maybe people were exhausted working daytime goodies and went
QRT for the evening and watching Dancing with the Stars instead.

Daytime stateside pileups were great!  You can see those in our rates
(http://www.w6rk.com/6514727119_541b8157b8_z.jpg).

Anyways, we beat our previous SCV record with about 100k (raw). Let's see how
it holds the log checking. The new (possible) record is mostly thanks to new
Mexican mults that didn't exist in 2000 when previous record was made. 

Writelog shows our operating time as 28h 2min but that is not entirely true. We
had periods of CQing to dead/QRT band in evenings and nights so true operating
time is probably closer to 30-31h.

Next multiop from W6YX will probably be RTTY RoundUp. See you in the log!
