 Did not believe it. Wall to wall from 14.050 up to 14.130.                    

For once some good openings. Called CQ on 10 meters sunday evening 
at 19:00UTC and was answered by CT1FJK with a good signal  
followed by EA7HHV,EA7JTF,EA7KS and EA7ST in quick succession. 
20 provided a good helping of JA's on Sunday evening. Thanks for the 
3 pointers JA.
Had a frustrating time on 40 mtrs with EU stations who seemed intent
to cover up each other. They would just keep calling and calling while an
exchange was in progress. This no doubt will result in quite a few NILS
for some stations. Some other stations never waited for an ack of the
QSO. When I asked for a repeat, they were gone. NILS again.

It was really was good to see the level of tolerance and patience 
displayed by the participants of this contest. Take a bow RTTY'ers.
Let me say thanks to all who had the patience to QSo this "peanut
whistle" station. It is appreciated. Special thanks to 3V8BB, CN3A,
VK6DU,TF8SM, VE9DX, KL2R for the mults. Of course thanks also 
to the regulars from the U.S. and elsewhere. They know who they are.
Too numerous to mention.
Did work AA5AU. Good to see you in there. Good Luck Don.

Great contest and great fun. Only sorry did not get MT on 20 which
is the last state I need for WAS. Logs to LOTW by tomorrow.

See you next year.
