     160m      22       74           13

     Totals  1371     4433          655  =  2,903,615  Points

Hours of Operation: 14.5

Notes:

- The 1 point rule is great!  Didn't change the contest that much, but did
seem to encourage more activity and was fun to work USA multipliers without
feeling "guilty".

- 75m and 160m were great Friday night.  EA4ML was booming in for several
hours on 160.  I had a very surprising run of Europeans and Russians on
75m.

- 15m was fantastic to JA on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

- 10m just doesn't seem to be able to get going like past sunspot cycles.
Hope it continues to improve.
