Dell PC failed 1 hour into contest,  old retired Windows 98 PC  
substituted and entries reentered.  What a way to start a contest!

Stayed on 15 meters, a lot of activity, seemed less QRM and QRN than  
20 m and openings to Europe and South America were plentiful most of  
Saturday and Sunday during the day.

I notice a lot of scores have 15 m approaching or surpassing 20 m in  
QSO's and points.  Good sign for solar conditions!!

Orion 2, A3S Tribander, Centurion amplifier and a very old but working  
Compaq PC.
