Guys,

It was the first effort for years on Topband in a CQWW CW.  Part time
operation because of a Scottish family wedding.

Low Power, Single Op, Single Band.

Asia was a washout because of the EuroCurtain.....Africa not so bad (CN8
got buried)...Thanks to the US and VE stations who had the patience to
hold out while working them and trying to handle Europe calling at the
same time....and the Central America contest stations finally peaked at
sunrise here on Saturday (Thought TG9NX was a pirate at first).

The totals:

50 Countries     11 Zones    450 QSO's      36,722 Points

Can't wait for the next event.
