Comments:

What a challenge the bands were this weekend. Very poor conditions made running
almost useless. 

Wasn't even finding sufficient NA stations to keep any rate going, and many of
those that did make it through were barely workable unless they had yagis
actually turned to the northwest. I suspect many calling me were still pointed
at Europe when they called (hint: ensuring I get your exchange correctly may be
worth a few seconds of rotator power when conditions are bleak).

Few JAs to make up for the poor polar path to Europe. 40M was unproductive when
I was on, with few stations heard -- though it was nice to work a few Europeans
for a change.

Not a single station heard on 80M.

But always fun to find the EA mults and work anyone who can hear me.
