Only put in 15 hours, but it was a long haul. Even had my traditional "total
loser" 90-min. nap during prime time -- just couldn't stay in the chair at 10
a.m. Saturday after getting up well before dawn to work 40M before 20M opened.
Stupid, yes. But oh so restful :) Should have stayed in the "Stansfields"
position (butt-in-chair), had a cup of coffee and worked through the fatigue. 

Didn't get nearly enough out of 15M or 10M today. Lots of good mults left on
the table there.

Fun to have Europe call in on 80M, which doesn't happen often at this QTH. And
they were crystal clear and loud on 40M, too.

Never heard YT or NU anywhere at all.

Finished the final hour calling on 40M, hoping to crack 900 Qs and get one
final mult (wishing for NT). And wouldn't you know it... QSO 899 was a VE8....
then two more Qs before the bell went. I am quite happy with that. 

Personal best saw most mults, most Qs, most points. A trifecta. Great fun to
have two more workable bands. Thanks for the contacts.
