Comments:

Didn't get on 'til 23:30....missed early evening when hundreds of Eu very
strong.  Best DX:   CE1/K7JA.   Stayed awake until 0730Z when I gave up and
missed SR time frame!

Condx were very good...as matter of fact using my remote Softrock SDR rx and
80M OCF dipole near the ocean I was hearing signals from LY7M; OM5ZW; G3BJ;
OL7M; G4BWG ;G4AMT et al  at 14:08-14:13 local time just after the contest
started.!  This is the earlist time that I have ever heard signals on 160M.!   
These signals were non-existant on my K3 in the city.  

Didn't use the remote rx for QSO's later as it wasn't needed...signals were so
strong here.

Gear: 
K3 (single rx)- finally figuring out how to use "SHIFT  LO-CUT-HI  WIDTH"
Inverted "L" (no load coil & 17M vert) with K2AV FCP - the FCP really works!
ACOM 1010 - just love it
K9AY - noisey
Pennant to north.- vy quiet
Pennant to east.- vy quiet
