CQ Worldwide DX Contest 2008

Over the weekend of 25/26 October, 2008 I took advantage of the CQ WW DX Contest to put some DX stations in my logbook. I found that I didn't really enjoy contesting (too many folks in too small an amount of spectrum!), but I did enjoy working the contest for short periods of time and putting some DX in the log.
