1 Multi = 1.2 QSO's

40 meters was not a good as it was in the last contest, of course we are now into the Springtime conditions so I expected that 40 would be a tough band. 15 meters was poor to say the least and 10 was terrible. At the end of the contest I did get a 5K contact number from TM6M, I'm betting there are some higher scores out there. I believe that I went by a couple of stations that I worked earlier in the contest and they were giving numbers in the 6000 range. I probably could have made one or two more QSOs but said I like that final number and I was staring to fade, so I left the contacts at 456.

This closes the major DX contests for the season. What we will see are the State QSO parties and 10-10 contests until we open in the fall with the WAE contests.
