At times conditions on 20m were really odd with UA0's being much louder than barely audible UA3's etc. 

12 hours of operating the Russian-DX-Contest were squeezed in between attending the annual CDXC Dinner and getting a few hours sleep. 

WriteLog handled the scoring nicely with the Oblast popping up for each call. However a couple of Oblasts in WriteLog's look-up table are out of date: UA9K is now YN instead of JN, UA3M is YR instead of JA. Only two stations were not in the Oblast that WriteLog suggested they should be : RU1A was in LO and not SP; RA3AWW sent MO rather than MA. 

All Oblasts in UA1-UA2-UA3-UA4 were worked on 20m. But 8 x UA6, 2 x UA9, 11 x UA0 Oblasts were missed as well as the two UA8's and the three R1's (although R1ANF in "AN" was heard on 40m).

Great activity despite the odd/awful HF conditions.
