Comments:

My "14 hours" in the chair were really like 7 hours in the chair, but I operated
2 minutes here and 2 minutes there while running around the house doing things.

My 160 M inverted L is only 50 feet vertical and slopes down to 25 feet, gotta
get this up before CQ 160. Also need to hook-up my small Beverage, I heard
fellow east coasters working Europeans that I could not even HEAR as early as
2200Z.

I am no low-band DXer, but I was surprised that most Europeans seemed to peak
about 2 hours BEFORE their local sunrise (according to N1MM), strange. Woke up
for my sunrise, but never heard any KH6 or JA at all; after going QRT at 2 am
that was a painful awakening. At 46 I guess I am getting too old for this.

12 countries worked, best DX was UW2M, about 5161 miles. Managed to work the
CE1 for a new one on 160. See everyone in the CQ 160, and remember... USA DON'T
CALL CQ TEST IN THE DX WINDOW! You know who you are and you know better.
