Comments:

This little known, quickly discounted contest is one of the most challenging of
all for me.  The QSO total is always very low, requiring tireless hunting and digging
through the Indonesian SSB pirate QRM on 40m and finding BY stations that are weak,
CQing underneath CQMM contesters.  Most have difficulty hearing and copying.
On 20m the opening is short and signals are also extremely weak, with few exceptions.
During a solar peak the results are far better and the higher bands come into play.

Since CQMM opened up to worldwide competition it has presented an additional conflict
to WAPC.  As conditions improve, WAPC may become more interesting, since it is a
special kind of challenge.  It is a special opportunity to work all Chinese provinces.
