Comments:

I had a nice start on 20m with great long skip conditions to the east, west and
southwest. I was also making many 15m and 40m contacts on the second radio. 
When rates slowed I went to 40m, which is usually very productive here in the
Midwest.  Unfortunately 40m closed early in the evening forcing me to 80m.   A
crowded 80m band is no place for a LP station without RX antennas to be.  I
should have taken my first off time much sooner.  Usually in SS most of the
multipliers call me and I’ve never had trouble making a sweep. This year that
didn’t happen and I was still missing 5 mults on Sunday afternoon.  I found all
but AK and NT before my operating time was up.   Actually I did hear NT on 20m
working west coast stations, but I never worked him.   I guess I should have
kept an antenna pointing NW earlier.
