Comments:

THIS IS MY 'SUNLIGHT' ENTRY.  ALL CONTACTS MADE WHILE THE SUN WAS ABOVE THE
HORIZON AT THIS LOCATION.

The contest starts Saturday morning when the sun is nearly an hour in the sky
at my location.  Nothing spectacular, but I did log 37 Qs in 1 hour and 10
minutes before Ol' Sol shut the band down completely.

I started CQing at 2208z, a bit more than 2 hours before sundown.  I contacted
9 stations in the 2200 hour, 32 in the 2300 hour, and 8 in the 0000 hour before
sundown and stopping of this operation.  The band was not nearly as good as last
year when I logged 6 stations from FM & FN grids in this same time period. 
This year, NZ1U, in FN47, was the only one.  The best contact was HD2RAE who
called in at 23:54.  

I then operated QRP as N5IA for 13 hours. 

At 14:07z I returned to this operation for a final few minutes of fun.  Being
sort of 'fresh meat' the run was good with 31 stations going in the log in 36
minutes.  48.5% of my total score was made in these few minutes due primarily
to calls from 5-JA stations, 3-VK6 stations, and KH6LC.

I highly recommend a 'Daylight Only' secondary operation to everyone; to double
your fun and provide more contacts for the deserving.

There is now a separate Plaque for this type of operation.  I am the sponsor,
but I am not eligible to win it.  So, who stepped up and made a secondary
operation specifically for the purpose of winning the Plaque?

73, thanks for all the Qs, and CU all in CQ 160 in one month.

Milt, N5IA, op at N7GP
