Comments:

No European heard this year (vs. 4 last year).

Worked 14 JAs (ranging between 22 and 26 points).  7 of them came back to my CQs
in the course of a 20 minute run.  Worked RT0F too, but no Oceania this year. 
In the other direction I logged PJ2T, NP2J and KV4FZ.  (Several Hawaiians are in
the log, but they are peers with the U.S. east coast, point-wise, from here.)

Got spotted by the JA1LZR skimmer in Japan, and ZL4YL's skimmer in ZL, during
the first hour, but condx seemed to decline from there.

My best hour was 40 QSOs.  Things got pretty tedious in final hours (e.g., QSO
counts of 12 and 10).

Overall average of 8.3 points per QSO.

'Just upgraded RX antenna from SAL-12 to a SAL-30 in the hours before the test -
it seemed to hear well.  TX ant is 85' T-top vertical.

Tks to BARC for the organizing the contest, and for the upcoming work!

73,

Bill, K2PO
