Comments:

Paused three times first night for lightning storms w/i a mile. Gave up after
3rd time and slept.

Surprised that 15 and 10 meters outpaced 40 and 80. Noise and missing part of
1st night certainly contributed. Also worked almost twice as many SA than EU.
Guess a dedicated antenna pointed SE will be in the future.

This proved again that [particularly from Louisiana], antenna that are fine for
domestic contests and way low for DX 'tests. (Didn't W3LPL mention that several
years ago?)

Seemed like a tough one, but then again, a rough weekend of contesting beats a
good weekend of yardwork!

See you in the WPX.

73,
Mark
