First time to operate single op from the DX side for this contest. Note that DX
scoring is separate from USA/VE stations in ARRL DX Contests.
Phenomenal runs on all bands were had, very few slow times, and no station
problems. LP was tough for s&p so I only went after a few of the rarer
mults. Running is the best strategy here, and most of the US/VE mults eventually
come to find you.
160m was extremely very low noise both nights, and very weak stations were
easily copie on the xmit antenna. 40/80/160 were the place to be after dark
until sunrise, and did not slow down until around until around 1000UTC. All band
condx were fabulous.
Most of the available mults were worked, and I was pleased with both the QSO
& mult outcome.
Special thanks to my host Ed VP9GE, who makes each of these trips a memorable
radio experience (this was my third major contest here & I'm booked for
more).
Thanks to the many FRCers who worked me on 5 or 6 bands in the contest!
Time to pack, and catch the flight back home Monday.

73 & CU in CQ160SSB test next weekend
