Comments:

20 meters started out white-hot on Friday night.  When it closed, the QSY
to 40 and 80 was greeted with nasty QRN.  I'm not sure if it was the storms
over New Mexico, or a solar flare, but the QRN was S9.

20 was so-so on Saturday.  15 open just a peep.  80 meters was tremendous
on Saturday night.  The QRN disappeared and it was clear sailing.

No openings for me to Europe on 20.  Worked very few JA's.

I entered as assisted, but I don't think I got any prefixes from spots.
I looked at the big picture about what band was open etc.

Best DX: D44AC on 20 and 80.

Rig: FT-990
Antennas:
      Sloping 80 meter dipole from 50 feet
      40 meter inverted vee at 50 feet
