2009 -- SFI =  70 |  A = 4 > 18 > 10 | K = 1 > 4 > 2

10M was better on Sunday than Saturday, offering some good SA mults.

Eu openings on 20M and 15M were better on Sunday, too. Europeans were very,
very strong on 15M until 1800z.

40M was pretty good, but with low power the nice Eu opening wasn't as handy
from the left coast. I'm sure the high-power guys had a great time.

80M wasn't very good, or very busy. Down about 20% on Qs there.

Ran SO2R on 80 and 40 only. Made 185 Qs on second radio.

Took more time off than I wanted due to nerve impingement leaving me with a
sore shoulder and arm, but still worked just an hour less than last year.
Second-best low-power score, just short of 2010's outing.

Had a good time, and am looking forward to ARRL DX CW with 15M and 10M in the
mix.
