Comments:

Thanks to I4DZ to let us use his nice short call. (In Italy for some
reasons we can use our special 2x1 callsigns: IR4M just for a handful of
contests, and the CQWW RTTY is not one of these).
The last-minute defection of a couple of operators left the team with 
only four operators, one of them at his very first contest experience.
This forced us to change initial plans to more stressing shifts.
It's been a fun contest as usual, with a lot of participation from all 
over the world.
Nice conditions the first day, with very productive low-bands: on 80 we 
were even able to work XE2X and some west coast with K3EST from CA and 
N7AT in AZ. Unfortunately, Idaho is missing as AA7UN didn't copied our 
long answer to his CQ.
Saturday 15m in very good shape, with good opening towards JA and NA.
Poor conditions on 10m with only some Caribbean and South America.
No USA, even if at a certain point we have been spotted by the K3LR skimmer.
Different story on Sunday... due to some solar flares, conditions 
 worsened and so did rates.
Highlight was VP8NO, worked on 10m and QSYed on 15m for a double 
 multiplier. Thank you Michael!
CR3W was worked in all bands without problems, except on 15m, where for 
some reasons he wasn't able to hearing our call, even if their signal 
 was huge. We insisted a lot, without success. What happened guys ?
Nice fight on the score table with our friends at IQ1RY, good job guys!
However, we wish there was more participation on CQContest!
Logistics and kitchen were superbly directed as usual by Paolo I4EWH, 
 while professional technical assistance was led by Nicola IZ4NIC.

See you in SSB leg, this time as IR4M!
