 Search & Pounce for the first 4 hours until I inadvertently
developed a pile on 15  hi ! There were lots of  NL stns on in this
mode. Highlight ; Band dies completely around 1610 thought receiver
had blown figured it had to be major disturbance so , good time to 
look north hi!  just in time to stumble on VY1A on 20 as things were recovering
and be there when he stood by for NL or PQ !!  Number 77 ... Tune slowly 
across a dead  20 meters to find KL7A  high in the band without a pileup  for nr 78 !!
Finish with KO7X AT 1729 for sweep number 2 this year. Ya gotta love it  hi!!
And still manged to get some antenna work done before CQWW.
73 C'y'all next weekend.
