2011: SFI= 168 | A= 1 | K= 0 (flux fell to 155 by the end)

Had a great time. No lowlights, all highlights. Except for the loss of the
strong polar path by mid-morning here.

Didn't expect to put in as much time as I did (31 hrs) but conditions were so
good, who could stay away on a cold, blustery weekend?

Passed my previous best by 0200z on Saturday afternoon, and kept going. Ended
up more than doubling my 2009 all-time best of 268,000 points. Not my doing,
though. It has been a long time since 15M and 20M were like this. 

On Sunday morning 10M was blissfully quiet and Europeans were loud. Didn't last
long. Same on 15M and 20M as I walked down the bands -- great for a while then
just okay for the rest of the day.

First day:   404   190     378   
Second day:  457   300     164
   
New 40M quad to Europe worked very well, though running 100W LP didn't make
things easy. Heard many, many more mults than I was able to work.

Can hardly wait for CQWW CW.
