What a difference a lack of thunderstorms and 10 inches of rain will do
for your score.  I dont know if it was conditions or my new 3 element
yagi, but 40 meters was nothing short of amazing friday night and saturday
morning.  I ran Europe and JA's.  I've never run JA's on 40 from Georgia
on SSB.  

Big mistake was made when on Saturday I predicted 10 meters would be
better on Sunday than on Saturday.   Maybe Fred will chime in and tell me
how I could have figured differently.  On Sunday morning I tried to
operate the way I wanted the bands to be, rather than going with the flow.
This cost me big time.   Lesson learned.  

The gap is narrowing.
