Comments:

Friday night bands a little noisy and spent to much time on 20 before QSY to
40.  Saturday a little better but Sunday before day break was fascinating.
Polar flutter made things interesting and fun.  10 meters slowly built to a
great level and many very strong EU (and others)  stations.  I'm constantly
amazed by the tremendous operators out there.  Their scores are fantastic.
Thanks to those stations willing to listen to my modest signal.  Good
luck...
