My 2nd favorite Contest (after the CQ WW CW).
Had a couple of computer problems this time. Coming from where you never expect
them. Had to stop for a few minutes because of them. 
15 m opened pretty late both days. Something like before lunch time.
Could not get anything going on Sunday morning. Just endless CQ's without any
caller for 5... 10 minutes. Low bands and 20 meters in the afternoon were good.
10 m was dead here. When I heard TI7W on Saturday morning working U.S. stations
that I could never hear, I knew that was the end of the battle and kind of lost
motivation. :-) Tried check 10 like almost every half of an hour, but only
caught a couple of short sporadic openings.
So, I slept both nights. :-)
In order to compete in this time of the Sunspot cycle one needs to move further
South... Central America or Northern South America would be ideal...
Also, big station is a must. Hard to get through with just 500 watts and
Spiderbeam or 2 element Quad. Especially in the mornings through EU wall.
Anyway, had a lot of fun from the "bamboo station" of 6Y5WJ again. 
This my 6th time in 6Y.
Congrats to N4YDU on his great score from a N3KS's TI-super station. Great job.
Thanks to all for the Q's.
