Comments:

Forgot how much of a grind this contest gets to be!  We had rates that ranged 
from a high of 146/hour (hour 1) to 1/hr on Saturday early afternoon (I did 
that hour and finished 2 crossword puzzles while pushing the button and 
spinning the rx antenna switch).  Finally got to Peter and I and we shut the 
radio down on Sunday morning after sunrise.

As many have said, US conditions seemed pretty good, and lots of stations were 
out there to be worked, but conditions to Europe were weak, especially on 
Saturday.  Band was slightly open at our sunset, but nil at European sunrise.

Thanks to Peter for the hospitality and getting the station together prior to 
the contest.
