Comments:

Conditions were generally good - sf 190, with low A and K indices.  A little
M3.7 flare showed up at 1530Z on Sunday, putting a damper on the European
opening, but the fairly loud EU stations were still workable.  The east coast
guys were working tons of EU that were totally inaudible here.

I had a radio failure (buttons stopped working), but this was a one-radio
event, so I switched to the other side of the so2r setup.

The main 200A breaker on the power panel tripped on Sunday morning during the
Eu opening, and a burning smell permeated the house. We carefully powered the
house circuits back up in stages, and everything came up working.  I still
haven't found the cause, but I suspect some device has died, and I just haven't
discovered it yet.

I think this was my first serious entry in the CQWW RTTY.  I'm glad I chose SB
15.  Telnet contributed a few mults, but spotting activity was generally light.

 I'll bet that within a couple of years, someone will come up with a RTTY
Skimmer, and the whole mature of assisted RTTY contesting will change, as it
already has on CW.
