Comments:

Pretty good conditions for this time of the cycle and lots of activity made it
fun.  I tried operating assisted this time to see how the "arcade game"
works... Lots of funny callsigns and comments but it was fun.
Highlights:
Good multiplier activity using this method.
Less stress and than running although many 100 watt stations were often pretty
strong this time.
Lowlights:
My new SteppIR with the 40m dipole element "froze" on Saturday morning (25F) in
the extended position.  No antenna for the high bands until the sun and some
mechanical twisting allowed the element to retract.  This is the second time
this has happened and the antenna is at risk of an "early retirement".  The
hairpin design can use some redesign attention.

Overall, this was another good radio weekend and thanks for all the Qs.
