Comments:

Congratulations to the guys at W2FU, W3UA, KT3Y and K9RS.  Fun weekend,
especially at night -- and this contest we celebrated the return (from FL)
of stalwart crew member K8NZ.  Definitely the best 160m and 80m conditions
we've ever experienced at K8AZ.  On the other hand, 40m went long shortly
after 0z both nights, with bent-path propogation the only useful mode to EU.
(Curiously, the propagation returned to normal path after EU sunrise, and
the band stayed open to EU until after 10z.  I actually heard JAs CQing --
direct path -- at 2 pm local on Sunday).  10m and 15m were both a big
struggle, and (of course) 20m was simply a zoo during the daylight hours.

73,
Tom, K8AZ
