Comments:

Excellent rate the first 3 hours (110+), then ?  Wow, it is like someone turns
off a switch.  It must be everyone getting out of s&p and going to run?  This is
also the time when 10 goes away down here and you have to go to 15.  For some
reason, I haven't figured out yet why, the station didn't play on 15m...hence
the poor total on 15m.  The last 2 years I seem to get ~100 q's behind in the
first 8 hrs and just can't ever make it up (unlike ss from w8, where you can
make it up on Sunday).  This has to be happening in the 00Z-05Z time frame
(15m-20m).  Rates here Sunday were much worse than last year (I DO NOT WANT THE
SS RULES CHANGED!  This is not a gripe or whine, just a data point).  Maybe a
bigger 15m antenna for next year?  A good but frustrating time. Tnx for the Q's.
