About 40 hours of op time.
Great conditions except for the horrible QRN on the low bands Saturday
night. All 160 and most 80 meter Q's were made Friday night! Worked
two JA's on 10 meters; first time in about 4 years. Good JA runs on
15 meters Saturday afternoon and on 40 meters Sunday morning. Worked
a good number of JA QRPers. This was my third best score in this
contest, despite the lack of world-wide 10 meter propagation. The big
aluminum pays off again! The only major mistake I made was over-
sleeping and missing an hour of the Sunday morning JA opening on 40.
