Comments:

Tough contest fm USA with a dipole and 100 W, Just squeezed out 200K 
points, though I'm sure that will get reduced when error checked. I 
did some running, but best rate I could sustain for an hour was a mere 
49/ hr. Those difficult paths to far east Asia especially tough! 
Frustrating to copy them okay, but be unable to work them, especially 
with the pile-ups. Conditions on 40 seemed mediocre, at best. Finally 
got a bit quieter on Sunday morning (UTC), but got noisier as the day 
went on. Aside from the noise, propagation was not great, especially 
over the pole. I had a really hard time copying JAs with the echoing 
distortion, though many were certainly loud enough. I heard a number 
of sections I could not work: either couldn't get them to copy me or 
could not fight through the pile ups.

Far too many DX stations fail 
to identify for EXTENDED periods. Guess they do not run short of 
callers using spotting. Makes it hard for us ops who like to use no 
assistance.

Still had fun. Thanks to all for the Qs!

73,
-Rich, W2EG
