Comments:

	The first night was pretty fun with 640 QSOs.  It took me 16 hours to make the
next 261 QSOs. That is just over 16 per hour. It was absolute torture.  Why do
we keep doing this?  DX was awful an I barely made a few W1 QSOs.  Oh well
maybe it will be better the next time.
	Was I loud?  I felt loud, but you couldn't guess it from the QSO volume. 
Maybe I can't hear.  The first night I was using beverages and sometimes I
forgot to switch to a direction and when I finally did, I would work 3 or four
in a row that I had probably frustrated for a while.  The second night I
received on the XMIT antenna and only switched to beverages as necessary.  I
can't see how that helped with only 16/hour rate.
73, Chuck
