Comments:

The day before the contest I was sure it was going to be a bust with the A
and K indeces so high.  What a surprise.  20m was open all night, but we had
to spend time on 40 and 80.  Sunset peaks on 80 were good but I need better
transmit antenna. Called several (including RW2F) who could not hear us. 10
and 15 were both great.  Both band opend early and stayed open well into
dark.  Next year the antenna situation will be much better.  The 20 wire
zepp beam worked very well, as well as any large yagi I have ever used.
