Comments:

It was encouraging that JAs were booming in at S9+ right at the start. Condx
seemed good with average QRN and no big static crashes, and I scored a little
better than last year. I seem to run out of stations to work somewhere a little
over 200 Q's. Very lean through the late hours here, 0900 to 1300, but then I
picked up a dozen or so more including 2 JAs. Not much DX besides the JAs and
KH6/KL7. A couple Caribbeans and of course the always reliable CE1/K7CA who is
my top DX for 20 points and again the only SA or Central American heard.

It was a great time and a real challenge, pulling the weak ones out through the
QSB. I had one of my longest ever straight runs ... 2 1/2 hours from 0530 to
0800 with about 100 stations logged. I gave myself some more practice using
SO2V mode in N1MM and managed to log a few S&P QSOs during my runs without
tripping over my own fingers so that was good.

K3 + sub RX, 700 W H/B amp, top-loaded 50 ft vertical.
73 and thanks for the Q's
Carl WS7L
