I had 1641 contacts but 59 were dupes. I called CQ most of the time.  I
made a sweep through the band on Sunday morning looking for Europeans but
only heard a couple other than the EA's who were plentiful.  Very few XE
stations were worked but I swept all the US states and most of the
provinces.

On Friday night the band was dead at the start but opened up for about 20
minutes from 0055z to 0115z.  There wasn't much happening in the mornings
until 15z.  If there were any Europeans coming through, I didn't hear
them.  I concentrated on Saturday filling my log with contacts and did very
little tuning unless I lost a CQ frequency.   I finished Saturday with 1000
contacts in the log.  On Sunday morning I made a diligent effort to look
for mults but very few were found and I went back calling CQ.

There were no doldrums on Sunday.  Callers continued to answer my CQ's.  I
turned my beam to JA for the last 20 minutes and was rewarded with 3 new
mults that called in during the last 10 mins (BV, DU, VR2)

All in all a very fun contest.
