A few more comments:
- Just looks uncredible but did not work anybody from zone 3... 
- 905 points for 49 Q's with zones 4 and 5, versus 1719 for 63 Q's with far-
east (zones 24 through 28), and only 1031 for 242 Q's with EU (zones 14 through 
16).
- thanks to 9M2/G4ZFE (96 Q-pts for him alone !) and JM1XCW for the 3bands (not 
easy with a noisy 40 and dipole to NW/SE),and to HS1PDY, YB0WWW, KH6/N0CO (good 
morning surprise on 14),ZL2AMI, ZL4HH, HR5/F2JD, 9V1UV, LU8ADX and LW9EOC for 
the high-points QSO's and the mults...
- Does not matter for this one, but this time I had the 6 continents (tnx 
EC8AUZ)!
- Not obvious for a first participation, but the "weight" of the 
multipliers is far less important than it is in other contests (see the best 
mono-band scores).
- Really enjoyed this one, a pity I could not spend more time and had such a 
noisy low-bands (even 100 more EU-QSO's would have really boosted the score!).

Bonus multipliers: 1 (RW9C)

Rig: IC706 + HB 4cx250 PA = 400W
OB6-3M tribander at 12m (2el/band) and inv-V dipoles for 40 and 80 at 18m.
N1MM logger / MMTTY TTY terminal

"Coubertin style" participation: started late, finished early and had a good
night, dinner and lunch! 
First time I work more JA(*)(51) than W's (36) in a contest. Good to JA on 15
and 20 both days, but only WA2ETU worked on 15(btw "the W signal" on 20/40).
Heard a few beacons on 10m (E's mode) but no station (not even RW9C!)...
On 20m, working JA and W's at the same time, with my Moxon beam between the 2
directions was fun! Scoring table really makes strategy interesting, but low
bands were too hard due to bad local noise (heavy rains all night), so said
"tant-pis" to the bonus multipliers and went to bed when I had exhausted 20...

CU soon in another one ! Patrick

(*) JA= 1/3 of the QSO-points and half of the call-area multipliers
