Comments:

My first WPX contest, and had a great time.
Conditions seemed great, especially for the bottom of the cycle.
20 meters had the best opening to Europe this morning that I've
seen for a long time.  I need to get my rate up.  Tried CQing several
times, but only got a small run going once.

Lesson Learned:  I stayed up too late making very low rates on 40 and
80, and I overslept and missed JA/Pacific activity in the mornings.
I'll try correcting this problem for ARRL DX CW.

My biggest DX thrill - working EA8AH on 80m.

Other new ones for me on RTTY
     YW0, YE1, CT9, T96 and 6V7.  Please tell me 6V7E wasn't a pirate.
