Comments:

Condx could have been better but actually were quite good.  Activity seemed down
a bit - rate petered out early and it wasn't thst hard to find an open freq
somewhere.  I kept thinking about all the people chasing the VP8 that weren't
on.  The west coast, especially the Pacific NW was weak as has been most of the
year.  Only worked 1 stn each in OR/WY/WA, usually get a few in each.  AZ stns
were remarkably strong throughout the contest as was the whole southern tier of
the US.

Slept thru Sat AM and was in/out Sat night.  A couple more well placed hours
would have helped the score.  :)

Missed VO1, VE1/5/7 plus the 4 untouchables, got all the states.  
DX heard/called but not worked included LY, SM, EA, EA6, UR, UA2, F, ON, PA,
OZ, OE, P33, I, YN, V31, PY, CX, PJ4, GM.  Most i thought were strong enough to
work.

had 55 5pointers and 32 10 pointers, mostly on Friday night.  DX worked:  9a,
C6, CE, CM, CT, CU, DL, EI, G, HA, HC, HH, HI, HK, IT9, KH6, KP2, KP4, LX, OK
(6!), OM (3!), PA, PJ2, S5, UA, XE, YU, YV, ZF.

Highlights included working a very loud RW1A on 1 call, working CE3CT who had a
good signal and seemed to hear well (almost like K7CA?), working a loud HC2AO,
having YV1KK call *me*.

73 and tks for the Qs,
greg/na8v
