High/Lowlights
. Worked W5UN on 2m EME for a special satellite QSO;
   Dave peaked about 15-20 dB out of the noise @ 1200Z!
. Great conditions on 20.
. Third year in a row of poor East-West prop on 40.
. Used 10/75 Phone station as "Newbie" station in lieu of
  "Novice" station
. Worked a number of Europeans on 15 CW at midnight.
. Above score represents about 22 hours operating time
   due to multiple generator failures (usually when 15 CW
   was going 100/hour).

Summary:

This is emergency communications. If you don't have a run going, it's an
emergency, and you need antennas to correct things. We had them!

Note: Above totals are essentially accurate, but are not
         based on the actual entry file.
