Lots of fun!  

About 9 hrs each night.  Had given up after the first night and just S&P'ed
half-heartedly on and off for a few hours to boost the mult total, but then
CQed and had a ball with a mini-pile of E EU calling at their SR.  

The NE and N Bevs are somehow picking up noise, so I listened the whole first
night on the NW Bev, even to EU.  Only on the second night did I discover that
the xmit ant actually hears OK and a lot better than the NW ant to EU (doh!). 
This is one side effect of never operating outside of contests.   

Other highlights were 7Z1SJ and JA8ISU (~0730Z!) calling in, plus finding
TF3CW, MM0XAU (GM/S) and OY9JD.  Only ones heard and not worked were 4O3A,
EL2DX amd UP0L.  Didn't stay up late enough to work anyone in the Pacific
besides KH6.  
  
FT-1000MP, AL-1500
1/4 wave GP with 3 raised radials
~300' Beverage to NW

Thanks for each and every contact!

73, Dan, K1TO
