Comments:

Great conditions! Ran SO-Assisted, HP this year, but only wire antennas at 25'.

Limited to S&P because I type with 2 fingers and my copying speed waaaaaaay
outpaces my ability to get the dern looooooooooooong exchange into the log, so
I either S&P or look like an idiot - I guess I could CQ at 18 WPM, but that
would be agonizing... 

So I spent all my time filling in the boxes for my CW 5BWAS, mostly on 10 and
15M. Only needed 6 on 40M, and got 5 of 'em. Secondary goal for fun was to try
for the sweep.... ended with 79 (a high for me) and missing NL. Heard VO1HP on
20M, but the pileup was huge and I didn't stay long enough to get him. 

Final QSO count was 189 with 79 sections for 10 hours BIC.

Frustrating to hear RI (needed on 3 bands) on again after the 1st QSO and being
unable to work him on the other two bands. Hrmph!

All in all, a great time being on the air with sunspots present. SFI = 177 for
pete's sakes! Now if A would just get back below 4...

Thanks to all who gave me QSO's. Great fun!

73, Ray N6HE
