Comments:

Part Time Effort focused on DX (95%) with only one short run to EU on 10
Meters.

Used a CQ WW DX Contest Template to count Countries and Zones.
Manually calculated score.  Hope it came out right. 
Used one computer to run MMTTY and Packet and separate computer for Log.
Sent same number to Everybody. Sorry about that.

Tot. 303 84  179  

10M opened nicely to EU / MiddleEast on Sunday.
Highlights 5B HZ ST2 TR + Zone 23 (UA0YAY on 20M).

BIGGEST ISSUE was people NOT putting spaces before and after their MACROs
(even/especially Big Gun Contesters).

With NO Space After a Callsign or Number and other stations transmitting,
everything is just run together and it is difficult to tell where the CALL or
NUMBER ends.  Some station calls could only be confirmed when they called CQ
and repeated the call or ended with CQ (with appropriate spacing).
