50 ft tower gamma matched for 80 & 160

Things were going pretty good until about 1800 UTC Saturday when I understand a 
flare or "coronal mass ejection" as someone called it hit.  Before 1800 had 1 
hr with rate at 130 and others in the 40 to 70 range.  Afterwards best I could 
muster was 40 with average around 20 to 30.

I seemed to find all the good mults on Saturday and worked them with relative 
easy as pileups weren't to bad.  This was lucky for me as on Sunday pile-ups 
were terrible and it was next to impossible for me to bust them.
