Comments: Enjoyed the EU openings on Saturday and Sunday even though
I had to break up the Sunday operating a lot. It was hard to
have to QRT at 5:30 PM on Saturday and 3:45 PM on Sunday for
other commitments! Never had to work to crack a pileup, but
looks like I missed some of the DX which was calling U.S.
stations. (Were 5N and 5H in S & P mode?) Probably should
have run more, but did better than I expected in any case.
The amount of backscatter was remarkable - never expected to
work all states except HI, WY, SD, VT, RI, and ME.
