Score down 1.1 million compared to last year, 400 less QSOs.

A disturbance which peaked Thursday threw a monkey wrench into 40 and 10
meters which had been fine the preceding weekend in the PACC Contest.
The first night the direct path to Europe on 40 went out early;  I was on 80
already before the contest was an hour old.  Both mornings the 40 meter
European sunrise opening was flat.  But considering where we are in the 
sunspot cycle, I guess we can't complain too much.
