Comments:

On Saturday, it seemed to me that 20 was the money band much later than I would
have thought.  And sure enough, when I finally started running there at 2341Z,
my rate sagged.  And 15M seemed very tantalizing, but just never seemed to have
the broad opening that would have made it a good run band.

I didn't sleep much (or well), and I felt my concentration slip a few times on
Sunday, especially after a half hour off time when I tried to doze.

I don't think I chose the best off times.  I was expecting an afternoon
football rate sag, but it never seemed to happen.  There seemed to be a Sunday
church/lunch sag and another sag around dinner time, but otherwise the Sunday
rate was fairly steady.

I was within one QSO of my personal best (last year).  It was fun!
