Casual operation with the yagi low, amp mostly off; just 7.5 hours on. Missed
first two hours on Saturday due to hockey road trip with one of the kids. Bands
weren't in very good shape, given flux near 90 all of a sudden, though 20M was
hot to JA late Saturday afternoon. 

A modest EU opening Sunday morning added 20 mults, but signals were either
full-bore or barely readable over the pole. Only turned on the amp Sunday
morning for half an hour to get a little more action from EU on 20M. Great to
work Phil GU0SUP again -- sounded good here with his fancy new computer. 

Had actual 15M Qs vs. last year with none. Got in 2 hours of NA Sprint CW
Saturday night, which ate up most of 40M prime time. Tried 40M in the wee hours
but not much around, and I slept through the usual Asian opening before dawn.

Apologies to KJ4IZW for the late Q at 1802z... distracted by phone just before
the end and missed the clock turning at 1800z so that one goes in the general
log instead. 

Hope for much better next weekend.
