	Comments:  Enjoyed the EU openings on Saturday and Sunday even though
		I had to break up the Sunday operating a lot.  It was hard to
		have to QRT at 5:30 PM on Saturday and 3:45 PM on Sunday for
		other commitments!  Never had to work to crack a pileup, but
		looks like I missed some of the DX which was calling U.S.
		stations.  (Were 5N and 5H in S & P mode?)  Probably should
		have run more, but did better than I expected in any case.
		The amount of backscatter was remarkable - never expected to
		work all states except HI, WY, SD, VT, RI, and ME.
