Comments:

The Stanford Club shack was full of guys chasing 
the ST0R, so it made for collisions of noise and 
antenna choices.  

15m seemed weak and in-and-out, so I left after 
7 minutes and 10 QSOs. 

20m surprisingly also seemed weak, but I plowed 
ahead as best I could. I manage 13 QSOs in 12 
minutes. 

Time was half up, so I moved up to 40m hoping for 
the usual rush, but other than loud W7's it 
seemed strange - AHA! Now I see that all the 
antennas were pointed at Sudan by the DXers, and 
all my antennas have been pointing NE all this time!

Too late to change the past, I moved up to 80m 
where the antennas don't turn and can't be pointed
the wrong way. While flustering with this, I 
managed to hit the wrong keys somehow and close 
the log, so I wasted another couple minutes getting 
the log back open. After all this I stayed on 80m 
for the last minute and didn't risk trying a switch 
to 160m.

Still, lots of fun. Thanks for the QSOs and see you 
next week.
