Highlights: Saudi Arabia on 20M, a bunch of Europe on 40M, and a handful of
Europe on 15M.
 
Lowlights: 80M -- every inch of it. The ones that got away (F6BEE on 15M, 4Z4
on 20M)
 
The contest was a tale of extremes here. Every band had its moments, except
80M. The most pronounced extreme was 40M on Saturday evening, when the Europe
window was so wide open the auroral curtain was almost ripped off its hooks.
Perhaps others have heard 40M better than that, but I sure haven't. CQing
produced little but I walked the band working everything I could hear, which
felt a little magical on RTTY. 

That's a wrap on CQWW RTTY 2010. Had a great time, as always, and wouldn't have
missed it. On to the next one. See you in the fray!

 
Thanks to Bill, N6MXU for the use of his station.  My AL-1500 lasted for 27 hours before
making a hissing sound turning the amp turn off.  Hope it is not to serious.
