Best DX: 212044Z KH6WT, Hilo Hawaii, 15m, 4505 mi (901 mi/watt)
         per WriteLog database
 
I called KH6WT several times earlier but could not bust his BIG and
constant pile ups. Heard no other KH6.

Lots and lots of PILE UPs on (USA) sections I missed!!!

Great to hear many NEW contesters. Glad to hear contesters making the
time to explain, patiently, I might add, the Exchange Format to the
newbies.
 
Tried to work EVERY SECTION in the States that I heard. Did not hear all
the Canadian provinces/territories though.
