Lots of noise on the low bands and the local PacketClusters were off the
network too much. This made it awkward to be effective doing a single-op
assisted. So I ended up sleeping a lot more than expected. 

They tell me that conditions sucked. But I thought what I was experiencing
is normal for Texas. So maybe I have something to look forward to next year.

73, Richard
