Great conditions Friday night; terrible conditions on low bands Saturday
night. As an indication, all QSOs on 160 and 80 were made Friday night with
the exception of two on 80. Had five 6-band stations; ten 5-band stations.  

Was wading through the typical (for me) Sunday afternoon doldrums when I
first heard some of the big guns calling JAs on 20. Then I heard some of
the JAs responding. (Then the adrenalin started kicking in.) Then I started
working them. I went to 15 and was amazed at the JA signal strength, and
worked a QRP JA. Sure would have been fun if the same opening to Japan had
been there both days. However, I'm not complaining.  This was great fun!

73,
