     Comments:
 
     I got off to a good start with good rates, and then came the flare 
and I took some off time. Next came the thunderstorm and I took 
some more off time - actually all the rest of the 2 hours. Thus, all 
the off time was taken at once - not what I usually do.

When I got back on the storm was still nearby - just far enough 
away to safely plug the antennas back in. The bands were noisy 
and rates sucked for the next 2 hours (possibly also because of 
the flare - it was hard to tell).

Low bands sounded good on the beverages (which I spent a lot of 
time repairing last week). Rates on 80 weren't as good as usual. 
Ended up with 50 less Q's than last year, and 15 less mults. 
Missed California on 10.

Sorry for the late post. Been busy here.
