>     This turned out to be a hidden gem of a contest. I had made a few QSOs in this
>     one in previous years, but did not look at it closely. The format is different.
>     There is a members list of CWJF members which count as 10 points. Important to
>     load this into your program so you get all those 10 point stations. Prefix
>     multipliers for all SA, and 10 points if you are QRP, or YL (append Y or Q to
>     your continent). 40 and 80 double the QSO points just like CQ WPX, excellent!
>     That made this a great warmup for CQ WPX in May. The simple exchange also seemed
>     to attract a lot of casual ops (who might shy away from a serial number).
>     This contest will be on my list for a serious effort next year!

>     Quite a lot of moderately rare DX either called in or were on the air - T6AA,
>     EL2DT, SU9TH, 9L1YXJ, among others.

>     One of my best runs was the last hour on 40m, steady stream of 6 point EU
>     stations calling in.

>     Thanks to all for the QSOs, and great to see so many friends!
