Comments:

I did an iron pants session, only getting up long enough for bio breaks.  I was
delighted to see 10 open to Europe and it stayed open longer than I thought it
would.  

I was making contacts on 20, 15 and 10 for the first 5 hours!

15 came alive and to my complete delight, worked E21EJC and a JA R3 mult around
mid day!  That was a shocker.  In the early evening I caught a brief opening to
JA so I got both the zone and R3 on 15 (but no HQ).  

Conditions on 20 were super - long sustained runs into Europe as long as the
band was open to Eu and loads of Russians.  Worked loads of R3 guys too (and
even some on 40 which I didn't think would happen given their limited
antennas).

I had a few get away - a BY on 20 and VQ90JC on 15 on Saturday but caught him
in the last 10 minutes on Sunday!

I even get my first PY on 160 which was a treat that I hadn't expected.

The bands were quiet until the thunderstorms cam rolling around then 40 and 80
were very bad at night.  But, no precip static for which I was greatful.

If it weren't for Europe this would have been a real Zzzzz weekend but they
really made it for me.
