Comments:

Radio:    IC-756 Pro III (100W)
Antennas: G5RV at 35' (10M), Hy-Gain AV-640 vertical
Software: DX4WIN 7.02 (imported ADIF into Writelog)

I operated 40M at KC1XX from Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning.  Just
put in an hour here/there from home to work new DXCC entities for 2007 and get
a feel for the bands.  I usually just worked a band from one end to the other
and picked off packet spots for multipliers. I spotted DX that wasn't in
DX4WIN's "band-map" (packet spots, sorted by frequency, tracked to radio VFO). 
Friday night, I hung around until the pileups developed :-)

The highlight (?) for me was working ZM1A on 80 meters - my first ZL on that
band since October, 1977 (not that I was trying very hard).  It was nice to
work some Europe on 15M Sunday a.m. after getting home from Matt's (and before
falling asleep).  My two 10 meter QSOs were both with Argentina (big surprise).
Worked a total of 78 different DXCC entities (includes 1 QSO with USA, but none
with VE), so DXCC in a weekend is still possible, even with low power, small
antennas and no sunspots.
