Comments:

Didn't make DXCC this time.  Worked 82 countries in 34 Zones.

Lots of action into Deep Russia area.  Saturday night, worked over 100 Q's into that part of the world.  Band stayed open to 1:00 am local.

Northern Eu was in there to about midnight Saturday.  OG8X (OH8X) - was S9+ 30 over at times.

Asia - worked only 5 countries.  Only 52 JA's.  9 on 40 and 43 on 20 meters.  No JA's on 15.  B1Z seems to be on every contest now.

In the Caribbean area, very little action.  J39BS tried out CW (likes RTTY).  Others -- 8P, PJ2 and a VP9.

On 10 meters worked LU1HF (as always) VE7UF and NX5M.  Worked a VE7 and 6 meters Sat with a stronger signal than 10.

Q's breakdown:  40% USA/VE's and 60% outside the North America.  Opposite from SSB WPX in March.

Some of the rare stations were:  JT1CO (at times S9+), 3V9A and A73A.

One strange Q was with 9A800VZ on 15 meters - heard him for 10 minutes - then gone.  Only Eu heard on 15.

Turkey - 6 different stations were on.  Marty (CU2X) was heard almost the whole contest.

4 ZL's and 3 VK's.  

LoTW --  Checked around 10:00 pm Sunday - already had confirmed 250 Q's.  People must be unloading their results 
right after the contest.

Rig:  IC-7800 - Acom 2000A -- 4 element SteepIR at 40 feet.
