Comments:

Could only manage a part-time effort.  Amazed at the propagation turn-around on 
the high bands.  Conditions Sunday were outstanding with very low noise levels 
on 15/10M.  However, 160M/80M were poor throughout.

Lost the 40M delta loop Saturday afternoon and kept losing the Writelog memory 
keyer, but otherwise smooth sailing.  FT-1000D is in the shop for a PIN diode 
upgrade, but the MP performed quite well as did the Alpha 99, which was a bit 
less finicky on cw (less spectrum/band) than ssb.

Hats off to EI4DW who did a stellar job handing out the EI mult without 
lightning fast cw ability.  This could be said for several other dx stations, 
and it seems like a good sign.

Wish more pileup ops would go split when faced with tailending gridlock.

Thanks for the q's & 73,
Barry  N1EU
