Comments:

The Contest Manager got his wish - good propagation for a change!

Visions of 1000 Q's on 40 died on the second night - the only real blemish on
an otherwise spectacular propagation weekend.  Saturday was like being
connected to the old Dr. DX toy, choose a band, any band, and work the world. 
Sunday was down on 40 but Europe came through short path on 10m!

The result is a score that beats the old USA record, but I'm sure someone east
of here will have a new, very hard to surpass record.  Should be a lot of new
records this weekend, in just about every category.  Competition in 5-land was
tough this year, I'll be lucky to be in the top 3.  I continue to struggle to
get back into the single-op groove here in the 'States after spending 5 years
overseas and getting spoiled being part of DX multi-ops.  I didn't manage off
times and band selection as well as I could have.  

Much summer antenna work to do, though most things are operable, many need
maintenance.  Next up: IARU HF!
