SOAPBOX:

Not a major effort.  Did about 10 hours of operation an
hour or two at a time.  Enjoyed running JA and EU on
10 meters with the new antenna.  First time that I have
been able to run stations in any contest - always been
a "search and bouncer".  Spent all of my time on 10M
calling CQ.  Achieved "last 100 QSO" rates in the mid
90's during the EU run Sunday morning with peak rates
over 120 Q's per hour.  Concentrated on 10 meters,
conditions were great both days despite the elevated
K index on Sunday.  The highlights of the weekend were
working P29TL, V8A, and T88CC on 10 meters the first day.
