Soapbox:
The low points/Q tell the story.  Better than average propagation part of 
the time, but really lousy Sunday morning.  Went into it with too much 
sleep deficit so no early morning 40 meter work.  20 meters was the most
fun this year. Propagation on 15 was never quite good enough for effective 
QRP operation from AZ.  10 was a surprise: worked one EA4 and one JA and 
heard a number of Europeans both mornings!  Had fun playing SO2R with 
the K2.  Hope they get the computer interface done before Sweepstakes!
