Comments:

It's hard to run stations with a multiband dipole @ 22' high, so it was 90% S&P
this time.
Doing home renos' here so this was strictly an hour here and an hour there, and
a full nights sleep to boot, hi

Highlights: 
VY1EI QSO...thanks for hearing me in there Eric.  What a pileup !
NP4A calling me.  1000 Thank you's Pedro.  CU on 6m !
VE4EAR QSO...man was Ed loud---gotta luv sunspots.
I looked forever for EB then found 2 or 3 back to back on 10m hi !
Sweep station was W6FRU (SB)...chased him all around 10m, but finally I settled
down and called CQ and he found me.  Whew !  I was so overjoyed.
I took a long break and cooked a big supper after that.

Lowlights:
High SWR on 15m...could only run about 200w...who knows how much ERP @
antenna...a couple watts maybe?  Could barely be heard on 15m.
Being asked for many repeats, only to find the station asking was A or Q(!!)

(see antenna, above) ;-)

Thanks for another one...
