Comments: 160-80-40: Poor antenna, worked what I could!  Broke a couple
pile-ups on 40.
20: UNBELIEVABLE!  Band was jammed ... stations up above 14.100!  Tried
getting something going on Sunday.  Best runs were in between the "digital"
stuff!!
15: Didn't really open up well on Sunday like I hoped.  Best surprise was 
having VQ9 call me!
10: The usual stuff ... LU's.  Heard 9G, 9J, and PY0 weakly.  Nice Sporadic
E opening to the Caribbean 2230-2330 Sunday!  Big sigs from PJ9, YV1, P4, 
HP, V4 ... but that's all.
