Comments:


My other responsibilities kept me from planning a full-time effort.

I was able to get on for a few hours Saturday afternoon (mostly
S&P on 10 meters to pick up the westerly multipliers), and a few
hours Sunday (to pick up some QSOs). 

Started bad with broken wire in my favorite paddle (Schurr Profi)
and so I pulled my old Hamco Scotia and a collectable Autronic 
that I bought recently out of the storage box.

Further went bad when the rotor broke sometime between Saturday
evening and Sunday afternoon.  Rotor would turn clockwise, but
would not turn counterclockwise. By the time I identified this 
behavior, the antennas were pointed North. Luckily, I have some
SS dipoles up for 40 and 20 in addition to the yagis.

452 x 78 = 70,512.  Missed NL and MAR.  Never heard them.
