Comments:

Fri. I went to a nice concert with my wife. Granddaughter, 
age 11, visiting Sat. A few things are more important than 
ham radio.  So, I operated only in dark hours after concert 
and after child's' bedtime, 80 meters only. Good signals 
from EU both nights. First night fast S&P for a bit more than
an hour, 50 QSOs and 33 countries. Second night, ran at a 
reasonable rate 0215-0305Z, lots of 100 watt EU stations.  
Then, at 0305 the rate  dropped off a cliff: sensible casual 
EU ops went to bed!  Reasonable number of big-gun EUs 
still CQing, plus a few NA and SA, so picked up 14 more 
mults and 100 more QSOs.  I was relieved that the solar 
flare did not wipe out 80 meters: effects seem to have 
subsided by contest time.
