Comments:

Upon return home from overseas I discovered that my receiving 4-SQ does not
work, and back yard is covered with a foot of snow. That was the last straw, so
I decided to give myself some rest, and just work 40 meters... Tried SO2R for
the first time (with new shiny microKEYER 2R+ -- but it's another story -- not
for now). It helped me to work a few mults, however somebody always tried to
steal my run frequency. I need to get used to it.

Overall -- condx were quite marginal. Sometimes I thought that the propagation
ends on MA/NH border (I could not hear the guys K1XM worked easily!) with the
special exception for Mason, hi-hi -- but Matt has his own propagation
generator. I lost just a few easy mults (like KL), but overall, supply of EU
calls, especially the first two nights was extremely limited. I could barely
hear big guns like OH2MM on the third night -- just above noise level). 

I guess N2MF is laughing at me...

Anyway, it was fun, and being a "DX" for people like R1FJT, A61M, ST2A (thanks
for your efforts and sorry for multiple QRZ -- but you were really well under
the noise level) helps to beef-up my rotten self-esteem.
