Comments:

Thanks to everyone for their QSOs.  It was a most enjoyable contest, my
first
attempt at a full fourteen hour run in TBDC.  Unlike most contests, the
order of
finish is hard to predict because of the LP and QRP scoring multipliers.
 

My distribution of QSOs among distance ranges showed far less DX than I
would
have liked.  I worked no VK/ZL or JAs.  

Distance (km)  QSOs  %
00000 - 00500   146 24.4    
00500 - 01000   233 39.0    
01000 - 01500   73  12.2    
01500 - 02000   30  5.0 
02000 - 02500   15  2.5 
02500 - 03000   22  3.7 
03000 - 03500   31  5.2 
03500 - 04000   6   1.0 
04000 - 04500   
04500 - 05000   
05000 - 05500   2   0.3 
05500 - 06000   5   0.8 
06000 - 06500   8   1.3 
06500 - 07000   10  1.7 
07000 - 07500   15  2.5 
07500 - 08000   1   0.2 

HG8DX gave me my best DX from KN06, 24 points.  QSO rate was not
outstanding
either, with my best hour yielding only 94 QSOs.
