Rx loops

Score down about 20% from last yr, consistent from what I am seeing of many
other active participants. In addition to deteriorating cndx, I lost about 4
hours the first night due to heavy rain static and then a lightning storm that
caused me to close down althogether. I could have stayed in MI for that! <grin>.
Quite rare here in the "Valley of the Sun" this time of the year.

Surprised here with the 80m JA opening on Sunday morning. Yes, we usually have
that opening but this one was packed with stations across the entire contest
band, and several over S9 on calibrated s-meter! Very nice to be able to
actually run JA's with only 100w here. 

Keep smiling folks, this IS fun, remember that.
