9 Hours

Not having a 160 antenna was a killer!!!  The fact that everyone wanted to
be on 10/15/20 during daylight is bad from W8.  During daylight struggled
hard to maintain 50/hrs, once darkness hit it was GREAT fun, first hour on
80m was a 100/hr... then it dried up as I guess all those high band guys
were taking their breaks ?  Of course 40m was excellent... I encourage
people to look at 40m during the day!

Will have the 160 antenna up by SSB next weekend!!!

I had difficulty with people not wanting to qsy, a few would and my thanks
to them.

Had fun but still wondering how to make Q's during daylight when there is no
audience ?
How about some of the W6/W5/W7 getting local clubs to get those litte/medium
W5/W6/W7 on so that we have someone to work ?  Sounds good to me.
