Comments:

Condx fairly good Friday, not so hot on Saturday.  

Missed 4 zones I called (13, 19, 27, 34).  Had sporadic problems with my se/nw
eL's, finally traced it to a bad coax connection at 10z Sunday morning.  It had
been working fine on Wed, brisk winds Thur/Fri worked their evil.  That could
explain 2 or 3 of the misses.  Heard maybe 10 countries not worked.

Was hoping to get on all bands, needed another day to get the tower and TH6
finished and up.  The refurbishment took longer than i thought it would.  That
effort wore me out, napped from 0930z-12z Saturday morning but got up in time
to work a few stns before the band died.

Did manage to CQ a bit in this one.  not really 'running', but i got steady
answers for a decent period Friday night.  Seemed more competitive this year
than last, still trying to figure out if it's less pressure/activity on the
band or if this year's radial system makes that much difference with a few more
and longer radials.

It was, all in all, a very good time.
