Not entirely sure on all the multipliers -- I'm sure the contest judges will 
correct any mistakes.

Just a part-time effort for the club. Put in an hour here and there as I could 
escape from the honey-dos. Probably should have spent more time on CW. Got a 
few short runs in on phone, and managed to catch the european opening Saturday 
morning. Band opened like the popping of a cork. One minute the Europeans were 
S6, and couldn't hear me at all, then they were S9+, and I got through on the 
first call.

Also got to watch the band close Friday and Saturday night. It's very 
interesting how propagation changes quickly as the band goes out. First it 
would get very long, with a lot of japanese stations, then it would swing 
south, with Austrailia and New Zealand before quitting entirely.

Great to enjoy ten meters when it is so strong and full of activity.
