Comments:

Good shakedown for the new monobanders.  Nothing broke, so that is a good
sign.

Cool things:
JA's just like the "old days". Over 400 JA's on 40M.
Being called by VQ9X & working SM2EKM (LP) on 80M at my sunrise Sunday.
DXCC on 4 bands
EA8ZS, HC8N and several others on 6 bands & lots of 5 banders
15M & 40M condx

Not so Cool:
20 Meters Condx
CB hash on 10M -- S9 across band at times
Lids & bad key clicKS.
Still can't beat K5GN  - congrats Dave!
