I missed the first 2 1/2 hours playing bridge with my wife, and took off 2310 
to 0140 to go out to dinner and watch the end of the Steelers game.  I 
estimate I missed 10 to 15 easy multipliers that should have been worked during

those times, especially the dinner time break.

Only one radio was used.  The 80 meter dipole died in the past week (I 
finally had the daylight and motivation this morning to look at if, noticed a 
break in the open wire about halfway up).  I used the 80 meter sloper, which 
seemed to have some erratic performance with an effect on the quality of my 
signal (too much RF feedback or arcing of some sort?).  After a while I kept 
it down to 20 watts or so on 80; things then sounded normal in the receiver 
sidetone, though I'm not sure if it worked around the problem or just made is
6db less annoying.
