Comments:

First I'd like to thank everyone for calling in.
This has been another fantastic radio weekend, with a LOT of
preparation behind. I am happy everything in the shack and 
antennas worked flawlessly.
Propagation has been up and down.
Looking at the days and weeks before the contest I hoped
better, but nothing to complain at the end, 10&15m stayed
opened a long time after the sunset:)
Openings on 10m were very spotty, particular with USA 
until nearly the sunset, stations arrived in clusters,
some minutes with strong and increasing signals falling
in few minutes into the noise floor and then increasing 
again... and so on for hours, signals became strong and stable
after the sunset.
Not much from USA west coast and what arrived had poor
signals with some exceptions as always :) 
Nice openings on 20m with pacific areas and caribbean 
before my sunrise both days.
Nice to see a lot of JA, YB, BY and South America stations
calling in.
Life on low bands has been very hard. Frustration in SSB 
crowded contests is the rule rather than a bad surprise.
In these conditions I missed CW a lot. 
CU in the next one.
