Hello everybody,
Another fine contest es party !!
As countyhunter es contestminded ham I looked, as always, forward to the
PAQP . Tons of W3UU mail on the reflector warned me that logging es
paperwork might be timeconsuming; hope it is all oke. Tks fer the info
anyhow. Started early this year using N3FJP software which did a fine
job. Had to correct my vy first c/l logging with this software though
when suddenly AD3E/R gave 2 counties. 

Still needed CRA/SUS/FAY es POT fer mi USA-CA; if I had to set mi money
on which 2 out these 4 I wud work,  I wud have bet on the  first two  .
But never hrd Bob W3BBO es missed the other Bob K4MUT in SUS.
So best moments were when on Saturday Ralph from nowhere appeared as /R
from FAY es I "woke up" on Sunday 2 hrs prior to the end, when a weak
W3UU/M  suddenly called /POT.  ......No pile up yet so after 3 calls
Potter was in the pocket.
Hall, W1NN (W3USA/M) had a vy fine signal es gud ears  throughout the
test  es yes, the W3UU operators were gud. 
Conditions here : 100W , CW only wid full wave dipole fer 20m  es omni
directional inv vee fer 40/15m

Claimed score :  (last year 124 QSO's > 51 mults)
1  x 80
18 x 40
71 x 20
3  x 15
total 93 QSO's > 140 QSO points x 50 mults = 7000 + 2200 bonus
CLAIMED SCORE 9200

I was really satisfied considering the conditions es less mobiles than
last year. 
Hope to meet U all early October 2005 !!
Tks all mobiles es all effort, work es organisation.
