Comments:

Radio:     ICOM IC-7610, 100 watts
Antennas:  Hy-Gain AV-640 multi-band vertical
           1/2 size G5RV dipole in attic
Software:  WriteLog for Windows

The first 7 hours were bliss with over 800 QSOs in the log. At one point on 20m,
the rate meter hit 222 QSOs/hour measured over 27 minutes.  Then I went to 40m
for the first time.  The last three hours were torture.  I probably hit the band
too late.  Still, I'm happy with the 52 mults I found, despite missing NH and
others.  I have a high local noise level, so running was just about impossible
for me.

10m wasn't as productive as last weekend.  I also found that that attic dipole
was comparable to or louder than the vertical on at least half of the stations I
worked on 20m, which was not the case last weekend.  My last QSO on 20m was AL2F
at 0248z.

I missed both MS and RI on 20m, though several ND stations called in.  I saw MS
spotted but I didn't want to break my run.  I read on the YCCC reflector that
NG1M in RI did not spend much time on 20m due to his own local noise problems on
that band.

Two huge tips o' the hat to Chuck, N7MZW:

1. Organizing the two GMCC teams
2. Calling into my 20m run for my first and only QSO with Wyoming.
