Comments:

Great contest!!...Lots of stations on and good propagation...

My strategy was to beat up 20 metres and get as many high-rate 3-point EU as
possible, as opposed to working the low bands for lower-rate higher-point
QSO's...I think it worked...My avg points per qso is down a little from last
year, and I have a few less qso's, but the mult count is way up over last
year...

20 was the money band here, 68% of all qso's...Never ending string of loud EU
all day sat and Sun...I took the entire evening Sat off so I would have daylight
hours to run...15 never really materialized as I hoped it would, but it was
there for a couple hours Sunday afternoon...

Amazingly strong JA signals Sun at 2200...Netted about a dozen mults I hadn't
counted on...

40 was hot near the end of the contest, but I ran out of time with a half hour
left...

I noticed MUCH more efficient exchanges, nice and short...Good to see...

Great fun, thanks for the q's...C U in ARRL DX CW...
