Comments:

Missed out on operating the first five hours of both evenings ie the hours of
peak rates and DX, so wound up   hitting the 3am-8am hours hard on both nights
plus the last 90 minutes of the contest during daylight hours.  What a pleasant
surprise!   160 was hopping even at the end. 

When I was on, I did not hear much  European dx, just a little from SA, only one
African, a couple of  KH6's,   a fair number of Caribbeans, and nothing  from
Asia or  Alaska.  So the DX number was way down from last year.   Total hours 
OTA were also down to 13:34, but rates look to be about the same, pushing 50/hr.
 Biggest surprise was how  steady and strong signals were all thru the night.

Put up  a 305 ft  Beverage but didnt use it much, until  the final  90 minutes
when it  seemed to pull out the sigs really well from its   bi-directional
orientation. NE/SW. 

Station:  IC7610 - ACOM 1000 - 130 ft Inv-L ( 52 ft vertical leg) with  38
radials - SAL-30 rx antenna - JK BevFlex Beverage rx antenna -  N1MM+ software.
