(4960 CW QSO PTS + 0 SSB QSO PTS) + 0 BONUS = 4,960

RIG - trusty TS940S and rented 5KVA generator.

Antennas - Dipoles for 80M and 40M, Tribander @ 70'.

I was very pleased with the conditions and was glad to hear so much
activity on 10 through 40.  I was somewhat disappointed by 80m; the band
was relatively quiet here, but not as much action as in years past,
which made it hard to stay awake in the wee hours Sunday morning.  I
slept from about 1030Z to 1230Z, even though I wanted to go all 24 hours
straight.

EPA missed all the nasty weather - first FD in a long time in which I
didnt have to shut down due to lightning.

Hope to see everyone in IARU!
