Comments:

First time full time SSB High Power participation at WPX contest.

Conditions were quite fine, all bands were opened.
I felt better at low bands, I was able to spent more time in CQs. There started
terrible 59+ QRN during second night on 160m, (no problem), but also on 80m
(problem...).
High bands were nice opened, but with my (antenna) setup I was able to run
really valuable NA pileup only for 1 hour on 20m on Sunday evening. Most time I
spent with S/P. Especially 10m was interesting. I was able to S/P all directions
during Saturday openings, but completely closed NA, but with nice SA opening on
Sunday.

Highlights:
- high bands (especially 20 and 15m) were similar to confused mess of sounds
and spletters, S-meter didn't fall below S9...
- it was easier to find mult, than free frequency for CQ...
- Russians didn't have problem with starting of ragchewing just over my pileup
using xyz kW (59 + 20 dB)...
- a lot of stations had major part of output power compressed off their
operating frequency, into spletters, not rare +/- 3 kHz.

Thanks to all participants!
