Comments:

I had high hopes; they were dashed.  Nothing epic happened to me. I was just
tired.  End of year business and holiday social schedules have taken their
toll.  I am still grateful to have found time to get on.

Happy for the few 5 pointers and a testament to their fine abilities for
hearing me. OL7M was absolutely blasting in to Middle TN on the second evening
around 0515. Solid S-9, with 12dB of attenuation RX through my TX Marconi. I
hoped the opening would be more extensive: I heard very very weak signals from
Europe and strong-as-local OL7M.

Did not hear the Inter-mountain West at all to my surprise.  Did not hear many
stations from California either. I figure the weather must have wreaked havoc.

I think the first evening was a bit punky but I missed the first local sunset. 
The band became really nice after first midnight through first local sunrise.
Second sunset seemed OK but I became punky and QRTed by second local midnight.

I had high hopes to beat my score from last year...not even close.  Oh well,
thanks for the Qs and 73!  See you in TBDC!
