Highlights:
- super condx again in WPX CW - WPX CW has had them in 2006, 2008 and 2009!
(2006 I was @OF6AA and 2008 @ES9C)
- 10m open to East: VR2ZQZ/P, BD7NWF, HS0ZEE, E20YLM nice suprises
- 15m open to USA: NM5M 1808z on Sat, some East Coast on Sun

Excuses:
- I couldn't get my CW keying to work before the contest, so every qso was
worked "by hand". Still I am not sure what is the problem. Then plan was to
work part time, but condx were so good that I decided to push all 36 hrs.
- serious RF problems made my signal chirpy, never have had this kind of
problem before. I had to reduce output power down to about 700 watts. Well,
I
suppose that running 800 watts less than my competition doesn't matter much
on
CW ... (moved my rig to less ergonomic position on Sunday and it helped)
- too lazy, too little S&P ... on the other hand stations like CU2X (who I
called 5 minutes on 15m) and EF8M didn't want to work my unique multiplier
:)
- had to go to work on Monday morning, so I finished already at 1649z on
Sunday.
