Comments:

Quit about noon Sunday because things were going so badly.  I really don't
understand it, because the station was working fine, and I didn't have any
cockpit problems that I could notice, but the QSOs just wouldn't come.  Had S9
noise levels on 80 and 160 both nights (no RX antenna on 160), but the high
bands opened late for me, never sustained anything like the rates of 2000 or
2001, and closed early.  

I'll be interested to see what the consensus is on conditions.  Maybe my
disappointment is just a symptom of my having a capable station for the first
time over the top of a sunspot cycle and down the other side.
