Comments:

What initially was planned to be a M/S operation turned out into a SOAB effort.
I surely was not prepared for SOAB as I had other commitments over the weekend
and time was limited to approximately 20 hours.

I squeezed whatever I could at the operator's chair. Saturday not so productive
with only 211 QSO'S and a low A value of 14 but Sunday was just great with a
nice opening on 10m. The best band was 15m and last hour was very productive on
40m.
No real goals were set but while seeing the rate increase on Sunday I thought
1000 Q's and 500k points would be possible. Both goals were met so great fun.

Thanks to all who made it into the log and sorry the ones I did not hear or did
not log.
