I always enjoy this contest, kind of a low key, low band SSCW from the 
west coast. Not nearly as noisy a band as the CQWW was. The only problem 
that pops up each year is the usual Christmas parties on Friday and 
Saturday night and the obligatory attendance but I did get in about 3 
hours each night with Saturday night being a lot slower.

It is always nice to hear the East Coast working Europe and with their 
directional antennas, not bothering with anything west of the Rockies. 
Too bad this contest does not draw nearly as many Asia/Oceania stations 
as the CQ contests seem to do. Of course, on Monday night, I listened 
for a while as K0IDX in N.D. worked a G3, OE4 and F who were all Q5 
here. Hopefully a harbinger of the rest of the low band season.
