Comments:

Wow!  What a weekend! Only thing that separated this weekend from some of the
previous decent sunspot numbers was a thousand Qs on 10M.

Activity was everywhere.  100+ hours were common.  With 15M open, it was
possible to hold a good frequency on 20M without having to fight for it every
10 minutes.  Nice to see a return to reasonable conditions.

I can only wonder what the 20M total would have been with a fully working
stack.  Our stack was 3 1/2 elements (missing 1/2 of a reflector) and 4
elements, both fixed on Europe.  Most surprising contact of the contest, for
me, was when LY8O called in on 10M.  I think the furthest northern Europe
station Q other than him was in northern Italy, but somehow he found us for a
Q.  

Rigs were five K3s.  Its simply a wonder what that receiver can do.

Thanks to all for the Qs.  Now that the real contest is over, see everyone in
two weeks for the SSB test.
