Comments:

Great conditions on high bands, with the best 10m opening we can 
remember. It's fantastic to hear W6/7's so loud for so long!

Quite the opposite must be said for 80 and 160m, which were generally in 
bad shape. On top-band, due to poor conditions we stupidly missed the 
short opening during the first night, hoping to see better signals the 
night after. Big mistake! Conditions on Saturday night were even 
worse... lesson learned.
Top-band must have been quite noisy also on the U.S. end, as we lost 
some mults who couldn't hear us.

The competition on cqcontest.net was nice as usual, with our friends at 
OM7M and the solid E7DX team! Good job guys!!

It's a pity to see this amazing tool still so underused.
Standing at the window, just watching the competitors, looks like there 
is something to hide...

Ok, you want to keep your strategy secret, but, at least in CW, the 
reversebeacon network can catch you everywhere after the first CQ.

We don't understand why some teams entered (manually and sporadically) 
only the total score data. We are pretty sure that Wintest is able to do 
it automatically... or not? (Bad internet connection? :)

Finally, it's unbelievable how this year we had no snow but sunny and 
warm weather! During the last few years, during ARRL we always had snow 
(2 meters in 2012)!
