Comments:

WPX continues to be my favorite contest. Work anyone, and the TS category gives
those of us with a single stick in the back garden something to compete for.
Plus, single ops can sleep for a few hours so strategy is just as important as
endurance. This year my plan was to stick with 40 m for as long as possible -
maximize those 6-pointers. Highlights for 2015 - decent start on Friday night.
Lowlights - Sunday afternoon, painful rates. Took an hour break late in the
afternoon, and then found the bands filled with lightning noise on return.
Overall, I thought cndx were relatively poor, it was pretty slow going on 20
and 15, and 10 m was a bust except for SA. 40 m was noisy and hard going, but
in the end productive.

Thanks once more to my XYL for meals and cups of tea, served at the radio!
