COMMENTS: HAD A GREAT TIME WITH A 1 BY 1 CALL.  WOULD HAVE HAD LOTS MORE
MULTIPLIERS IF WE COULD HAVE CONTINUED INTO THE EVENING ON 75/80
METRES.  20 WAS ALMOST USELESS - LOTS OF CALIFORNIA, DX, ETC.  40 WAS
"IN AND OUT."  A COUPLE TIMES WE HAD A SHORT RUN SIMILAR TO THE "OTHER
END OF A DX PILE UP" ON 40,  BUT THE OPERATION WAS CUT SHORT BY A "GULLY
WASHER" LIGHTNING STORM.  THE RAIN LASTED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, FROM 7 TO 8
P.M., BUT LIGHTNING WAS STILL VERY PREVALENT SO WE FOLDED UP OUR TENTS
AND CAME HOME.     ONE OTHER THING WE LEARNED - THERMAL SHUTDOWN OF A
COMPUTER DOES WORK - MY ITTY BITTY LAPTOP DIDN'T LIKE THE 90+ °F, HIGH
HUMIDITY, AND SHUT DOWN ABOUT 1500 EDT.  WE SWITCHED TO A BACKUP
COMPUTER AND CARRIED ON.
