P40L-P49Y Contest Summary Information

Comments:

12 hours into the contest we were almost 300 Qs ahead of our pace from 2011 when we ended up with 6550 Qs.

Unfortunately, conditions from Aruba for the balance the contest did not support continuation of that rate and we saw that lead diminish over the ensuing 36 hours, especially during the Sunday morning hours.

As always, thanks for all the QSOs.
