---------------------------------

Conditions were decent, but not the greatest. I had 36 Qs into Europe (8.3%)
from out here in San Diego.  68.1% of my Qs were with USA stations.

Best Qs were OX, LX, and BY.  I worked 45 different DX entities in 22 Zones.

But one of my main objectives was to get the two CW states I had remaining for
the Triple Play.  I got both (ND and ME) with stations that are active LoTW
users, so that should take care of that!  If they both come through, I will
only need SD on digital to complete the Triple Play.

This is one of the few contests that I can successfully CQ from my home
station. I got 77 (17.8%) of my Qs by CQing.

....and the best thing about this contest is that I got to sleep both nights!

73 and see you all in Feb 2014!   ....Bill W8QZA / W6QU
