Comments:

Started out so2r. I built a so2r switch box and borrowed a DVK from a local. The
primary radio went south about 02Z saturday evening.
My son came home from college sat afternoon with new "special" girlfriend, so we
spent three hours out for dinner. 
Started back on at 11pm local. Worked until 0930z chasing the close in mults on
80m. Went to bed with 600 q's needing PQ and AB. overslept Sunday morning, it's
going to be a long day. Found a frequency on 10m at 16Z and stayed there almost
until it closed. It was a bottomless pit, for the first time there was no WWA
station sneaking under me and stealing the frequency. The last two mults called
in. with a Sweep, the pressure was off. I went to 15 at 2230 and quickly after
to 20m and finished the contest there. Who needs 40m? The bands were great, the
local QRN was absent, I could hear anything that called. A personal best for me
on phone.
