Comments:

FIRST AND FOREMOST, THANKS TO TOM, W8JI FOR THE INVITATION TO OPERATE SINGLE
OP FROM HIS UNBELIEVABLE QTH. THE NEW STACKED 3 OVER 3 YAGIS ON 40 METERS
PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY. ALSO, HAD A DIPOLE AND VERTICAL WITH INSTANT SWITCHING.

WAS ABLE TO HAVE A FAIR RUN FROM THE START. NOISE PICKED UP LATER IN THE
EVENING BUT ONLY SLOWED DOWN THE RATE SLIGHTLY. 

WAS ABLE TO WORK INTO EUROPE AND DEEP RUSSIA UP UNTIL 1045 UTC....WORKED 
GW3ORL AT 1052 FOR THE LAST ONE SATURDAY MORNING WHICH WAS GETTING CLOSE
TO MID-DAY IN THE U.K. - UNBELIEVABLE! 

WAS STILL ABOUT 14,000 POINTS BEHIND THE CURRENT U.S. RECORD WHEN I CAME
HOME FOR A NAP/SHOWER ON SUNDAY MORNING. RETURNED TO TOM'S AROUND 5PM LOCAL
TO FIND THE BAND JUST BEGINNING TO OPEN. WAS ABLE TO FIND A SMALL SPOT JUST
INSIDE THE U.S. BAND AND BETWEEN SEVERAL COMMERCIAL STATIONS. NEEDING ABOUT
80 - THREE POINT CONTACTS, THINGS STARTED SLOWLY. BUT BY 6 O'CLOCK, THE BAND
SUDDENLY OPENED UP AND WAS ABLE TO HAVE A GOOD RUN TO THE END FINISHING WITH
144 MORE Q's ON SUNDAY EVENING. 

SOME BETTER DX INCLUDED VQ9X, B7P, JT1CO (LP over South Pole), SEVERAL UA0's IN
ZONE 18, FOUR VK6's (zone 29), YB0ZZ, 3DA0WW, 9K2HN/9K2MU, A45WD, A71BX,
A61HH, WH0AC, DU9RG/DU9ASJ AND MANY LOUD JA's.

GUESS QSO APPRECIATED THE MOST....HB0/DF4TD/Mobile - WHO CALLED AND CALLED AND
HUNG IN THERE UNTIL I GOT THE CALL CORRECT.

THANKS AGAIN TOM AND MARSHA....AS ALWAYS - IT WAS SIMPLY GREAT!!

73, Paul
