Comments:

Conditions were very good from South Texas.  Wish I could have stayed awake to
enjoy them more but 39 hours is my limit.  I was finally able to give the 80M 4
square a good work out and it played like a champ. The 3L NE 40M quad @ 110' was
very nice into EU and I'll soon have the 4L KLM 40 @ 160' turning again, but it
was stuck NW (due to a lightning strike) which which wasn't bad for JA runs. 
The 160 2L phased array really worked well.  Amazing what some wires hanging
off the tower can do.  I'm probably pretty light on mults as well as Qs from a
competitive standpoint but I just couldn't seem to get an SO2R rhythm going to
maximize each band. I didn't even try and run until the second day but had some
good EU and JA runs every once and a while.  Sure seems like JA is back in full
force!  I'm sure my final score will drop by my normal 10% but I still had fun
setting a personal best.  Thanks for the Qs!
