Comments:

Single radio, CT-DOS, Field Day antennas on 55 foot masts.

No Murphy arrived.  Everything worked well.

I thought conditions were not as good as CQWW SSB although activity made up for
it.  Ten meters started closing about an hour earlier and I didn't experience
the great transpolar 20 meter night propagation that we had during the SSB
weekend.  

All my operating was S&P except for the few hours when I ran the Asian crowd
formerly JA's but now with China stations participating.  The S&P rate was
almost as good as trying to run here in California and there were a lot of
multipliers to be had.  Late on Sunday I spent my efforts in making 100
countries on all bands.  I came close.  J6M was my 100th country on 20 meters
three minutes before the finish.  Twenty meters was the place to be for
multipliers during the last hour of the contest.

These DX contests are very compulsive.  I have often wondered how a sane adult
could sit in front of a radio for an entire weekend and find it fun.
