Comments:

What an excellent contest.  

I had a rocky start, operating only 36 minutes of the first 3.5 hours, finally
getting going at 0130z.  Being a late-comer and fresh meat I expected high
rates but never broke 100/hr.  Worked no Eu the first night.  I heard and
called a few but they were quite weak.  I think I got a couple ?? from one. 
Did get CN2AA, several Caribbean stations and 2 KH6.  Domestic callers were
fairly steady and condx decent to the far west, which kept me in the seat.  A
welcome surprise were hours of 45/48/35 in the 10/11/12z period.  I expected a
bump from the Early Risers, maybe I made up a bit from the early evening here
as this was better than I usually do.

The second night started out slowly, condx didn't seem that good.  Then all of
the sudden BAM!  Worked my first Eu (TM6M) at 2230z, 10min before sunset.  And
he was loud.  In the next hour logged 21 Eu stations, most well over s9.  Then
it ended.  I realized that I had skimmed off the big stations - never got past
that top layer.  Of course hope persists and one never knows, I thought maybe
the band would come back after 04z or so.  Didn't happen.  Worked a handful of
stations in the 05z hour, a few more stragglers thru to the last at 0807z
(EI0R).  Ended up with 400q the second night, better than usual and enough to
keep me in the chair.  Managed to pick up some Ca/Sa stuff every once in a
while, that helped with the enthusiasm as I knew there was always something
workable out there if I could just find it.

The Eu total was about half of what I got in the Stew Perry - a rare
opportunity to actually run into Eu with lp.  I probably heard a dozen mults I
couldn't touch.  there's always next year?

I had been a little light on domestic mults the first night, in the low 50's,
but looking at what was left I was optimistic.  VO1HP was logged in the 09z for
59 - I was short only the 3 Northern VEs plus DC.  Given that those DC guys
always make sure the mult is available when it counts I was confident I'd catch
one in the morning. No joy.  Never had 60 domestic mults and I still don't.

It would have been nice to get to 1k QSO.  Thought I might make it, but I'm
very pleased with a personal best both in score and QSOs and had a great time.
