Comments:

Equipment: IC-756ProIII, auto-tuner, 30m folded and inverted V doublet at 10m,
MixW 2.17.
 
Mainly search and pounce as usual but some mini-runs as well. I did the first 6
hours from 0000 to 0600 Saturday on 3.5 and 7, then odd times from 0930 to 1600
Saturday and 0900 to 2000 Sunday. Around 20 hours in all.
 
The most interesting part of the wekend was Sunday on 21 and 28, which both
opened up to South America and West Africa from mid afternoon. Worked HC8N, LU,
PY and 6W from around 1615 to 1715 on 28. Worked PY, LU, CX, KP2, P4 and HC8N
among others on 21 from around 1415 through to 1845. Both 21 and 28 were still
open to LU at 2000 on Sunday when I finished. 
 
I avoided the mad house of 14 and preferred instead to chase the DX on 21 and
28. Reduced the QSO rate of course but I prefer getting the QSOs on the bands
that are less open at this stage of the sunspots!
