Comments:

Did not find CONDX as good as 2 weeks before when we did ARRL DX CW.
Lots of S&Ping interspersed with running JAs and other Pacific Stations.
160 Mtr band yielded few QSOs and 80 mtrs was also sparse. We did very well on
40 and 15 mtr bands with some good mornings runs into EU. No computer issues
which made us lose almost 8 hours operating time in ARRL DX CW a few
ago and all gear
and antennas performed well. Steve, KL7SB who was visiting from Alaska
and who we
had worked 2 weeks ago in ARRL DX CW Contest, stopped by W6HCD site
and though he says
he doesn't work SSB contests, could not resist jumping in the hot seat
to knockout
some QSOs. Linda KD6HYN, an aspiring SSB Contester drove down from
Whittier Sunday
and spent 4 hours in the hot seat coached by N6KI and got to run a
good 15 Mtr JA pile-up
the last 90 minutes of the contest and it turned out the second best
hourly rate.
