Comments:

I was looking for a pretty big score this time after the first 3 hours.  But 
conditions were horrible up here, with 3 hours under 30 q's (with a 15 hour 
when I took a 39 minute break for a shower and food), and 12 hours 60 q's or 
below.  The 80m antenna isn't up so I missed a lot of mults and q's there I'm 
sure.  This was the first time I tried SO2R, and it was very nice.  It was 40m 
only with an Alinco DX70TH and FL2100B into a 2.5el wire yagi (half the 
director fell).  W4AN takes the award for being the loudest signal from the 
eastern US on 40...and still 2 hours to sunset even.  
Things were painfully slow and stateside prop was almost non existent most of 
the day.  All I was working was the guys in EU with big yagis and KW's.  Then 
about 0300z things picked up and stayed great until about 0900z when I had to 
start milking the bands for JA's.  I decided to quit right after my head 
slammed into the keyboard when I fell asleep CQing at about 1010z.  

Never heard a thing on 10m that was workable.  But I heard OM1HQ and P3A for 
several hours at the start, which is pretty remarkable considering the time of 
year.  Too bad conditions weren't good (or even marginal) during the day, it 
would have been a lot more fun. I just wish OH9W would have picked someone 
else's freq to try and steal every 10 minutes.  

Thanks for the q's, and I hope everyone got the zone 1 mult at least once!  :)
