A fun contest. The number of IOTA mults were down as expected. Conditions were
very so-so. However. at the beginning of the test 40 was FB to Asia and YB. 40
SSB was wall to wall YB stations from 7130-7180. I stayed on 40 until about 1450
with 175 Qs. Thanks to Indonesian and Japanese contesters!!  The openings to
Europe were almost non-existent. 20 was best at night to Europe. 20m was open
all night to JA/some zone 16/15 but little volume. 15m was also not present...no
JAs and only a few IOTAs. I tried 80 meters only in the last hour and picked up
RT0F and 2 JA IOTAs. Since the only mults are IOTAs and working a LX has the
same point value as working a W0, I concentrated on working W's on 20 meter SSB
during the day. Heard IOTA mults that did not hear me: EA6, CU, TF, LA, SM, TK,
9A, SV5, FR4QT was a good 569 on 20.....
Still it was my best Q total during this solar minimum. Very nice to meet
friends and have a small chat. Thanks for all the Q's 
Thanks to Ken, for the use of his fine station and Sat night chili!
