Comments:
Wow, what a difference this year in propagation!
Made some mistakes (as always). Most important of which was not sleeping at
all the first night. I also spent fat too little time on 75and160 Friday
night. Thus I had to double down on those bands on Saturday night (when condx
were not nearly as good and activity was not nearly as robust).
Slept only 1:15 Saturday night so by Sunday afternoon I was a zombie. My
apologies go to those who had to work me in my sleep deprived state. I am sure
it was no fun giving me the 3-5 fills I think I needed during this time.
Here's a tip: When in this quasi-conscious state, leave the radio, walk around
and go outside, drink two full glasses of Orange Juice, wait 30 minutes and
return to the radio. What a difference! My remaining time I was closer to 70%
effective (rather than 10%).
A note in passing: 10 meters was occupied from 28,300 to 29,200 on Sunday a.m.
What a glorious return to yesteryear.
Overall--what a blast!
Thanks for the Q's and, in some instances, patience.
NR5M (still looking for a good night's sleep!)
