   Comment:  Low band conditions stunk here in OH.  40m was very long by 23z
and had a W6 answer a CQ on 80 at 02z.  With this in mind, I shut down by 07z
on first night.  This is several hours earlier than normal, but my hope was
that rates had to be better with daylight on Sunday.  This strategy also had
the unintended side effect of not having to struggle with off time decisions.
 Rates were better on Sunday than they were prior to shutdown, but pulled the
plug at 2230z.  Guess I have to get used to slower pace of doing SS with
100w, as my interest faded during the afternoon.

              73 to all,
              Ron, K8NZ
