Not much time for this one, although it drew me in a few times over the
weekend.  The highlight came in the final 40 minutes of the contest, as
"fresh meat."  Worked 'em at a rate of 102/hour, half Europeans, the rest
stateside (including K2TE).  Also worked WB2ART when I first got on the
bands Saturday.  Thanks, guys.

WPX is a run, run, run-type of contest.  Lots of activity.  I worked a
couple of Europeans at the end who were giving out 6000+ QSO serial numbers.
Whew!

One interesting article I found, for any of you interested, is an analysis
of prefixes in the US:  https://cqwpx.com/blog/some-wpx-statistics/

Looking now to the ARRL June VHF Contest, June 12-13.  Hoping 6M will be
open.  It's a good time of year for Sporadic-E skip, and maybe even
double-hopping into Europe and our West Coast.  And then, of course, Field
Day, two weeks later.
