Comments:

Thanks to George for his generosity in letting me use his station -- and his new
full sized, 4 element 40M OWA beam.  That antenna is at 120 feet but is
effectively higher due to his sloping ground location.  It was a champ!

It's been several years since I did a 48 hour contest as a single op, and I
decided this time not to kill myself.  While I definitely felt my mental acuity
diminish -- it got harder and harder to work the second radio -- I didn't have a
repeat of my 2003 experience when I woke up from a nap, sat down in the chair,
and honestly had no clue how to make a contact for five full minutes!

I'm a little embarrased of my 160 numbers, but honestly just didn't find many
signals on the band.  

Wasn't 10M a blast?!  Only two weeks till the 10M Contest!
