Comments:

Started on 15m, which was good, did not feel like I was loud on 15m at all, at
least not like I usually do.

I missed out on Sat evening due to a social event I needed to attend (fund
raiser for the Sierra Avalanche Center held at Sugar Bowl- was a fun time).

I did spend more time looking for mults, but that did not do much good, I still
came up 5 shy of a sweep, missed CT, NLI, DE, WTX & MAR.  This is unusual for me
to miss that many.  I did hear the pileup for MAR on 20m, but no way I could
bust it.

80m and 40m were very good here, particulary 80m Sat night when I got back, had
a great run and made up some lost time.  

We all need to keep in mind the timing on going to 40m or 80m, on Sunday I went
earlier than I normally do which paid off.

Sunday did ok on 15m, but just could not sustain any good runs with high
numbers, felt each QSO was a struggle.  Just not loud on 15m.  Have to think
about a different antenna configuration for 10-20m.

A good thing I discovered was having 2 antennas on 80m, my old standby inverted
vee and my 1/4 wave wire vertical hung in a tree with 4 radials.  Switching
between the two was great and certainly paid off.  

I keep thinking if I ever put in 20 or more hours I could break 1000 q's, going
to think about that for next year.
