Comments:

Guess it's time to finally put up the 15m yagi that's been in storage... loading
up the XM-240 2el 40m yagi just won't cut it anymore!  Need to think about a 10m
antenna, too, but I may let that slide for now.  It felt like old times on 15m
with wall to wall DX.

The constant and ever present S9 broadband noise that I have on 160 and 80 made
those bands really tough.  This is a new problem that's appeared ever since the
power company repaired a section of line that went down in a nasty ice storm
last December.  Another thing to fix...

Had a lot of fun in this one.  The never ending activity made it easy to stay
in the chair, except when battling the low band noise.  Taking off time for
sleep was an easy choice both nights.

Thanks for all the QSO's and mults!
