Comments:

Casual operation when the schedule permitted, ended up with 12+ hours on with
lots of distractions. 
The echo into EU on 40 was quite bad, especially the first night. Even though
the signals were strong, working station was very difficult, despite slowing to
something like 22 WPM at times. I wish I had more time to spend on 10 and 15.
Steep hillside to the West is still very much a problem and makes it quite
difficult to work JA and other Asia from here, as reflected by the following
continent breakdown.

I can't remember last time I worked more Europe in a contest than Asia from here
out West. I guess it's more of a reflection of the times that I was on and the
peculiarities of this QTH, rather than the propagation and activity.
Another interesting statistic is the number of Oceania stations worked. Hawaii
ended up to be the second most worked DXCC for me in this contest. Who would
have thought?

Still lots of fun with a minimal station setup - one radio and dipoles. Thanks
for all the Qs!
