Started out real good, but was involved in Church play Friday, 
Saturday and Sunday nights! 84 Qso's first 48 minutes of contest,
Saturday and Sunday signals were way off. Sunday afternoon,
California was S 9 + from 12 to 1:30 then they just dropped out!

A lot was my antenna, or should I say the lack of it - a Dipole
@ 50 ft. The solar flux bottomed out Saturday at 89 then up to
90 Sunday afternoon. To bad we didn't have the propagation we
had the previous Wednesday!!
Still I had fun and look forward to next yr with beams and high 
power!

 Rig: TS-850S  (100 wts)  Dipole @ 50 ft Broadside east- west
