Comments:

It was my first WPX in three years and my first serious (?) one in five.
Personal circumstances necessitated this be a 40M single band effort. Pointing
the beam east, the noise floor on 40m would start the day at S1-S2 and end up
near S5 as dusk arrived and the summer electrical activity peaks across eastern
Washington and the nation. Gradually, as the night progressed, the noise SLOWLY
tails off. The best solution seems to be pointing the beam west and working
folks off the front and back sides.
		  
Conditions seemed so-so. There was a wide variation in signal levels from very
weak to very strong. I worked a few that I could barely copy due to the hollow
echo in their signals. No long-path but that's usually a Fall/Winter feature. I
tried anyway. Nothing from Europe or Africa but that's not a surprise. South
America was light.

53% USA, 31% Japan, Canada 5%, everybody else, less than 2%
