Comments:

Good to see 10 meters so wide open for so late in the season.  Biggest surprise 
on 10 was to have KH8/N5OLS to call me on long path at 1256Z.  Humid weather 
kept line noise off all weekend, what a pleasure to be able to hear everything! 
The quad was used during the few periods of shower activity which nullified the 
precip static.  Biggest problems were QRM from a SWBC parasitic which wiped out 
much of the 15 meter CW band from time to time both evenings, and QRN Sunday 
afternoon caused by a storm which spawned a tornado in nearby Olney, MD (Olney 
is not far off the line to Europe from my QTH).
