Comments:

I was SO AB(A) not M/S

10 meters - Great condx at end of contest.  Rumored long path opening to JA on
10 meters after sunrise Sunday morning (I missed it completely).  80 meters -
Very quiet with strong signals from EU on Saturday night.  20 meters - Very
strong EU sigs on Sunday afternoon and end of test.  40 meters - extreme QRN
from Midwest storms Saturday night and Sunday morning made signals from the
west no copy.

With only verticals and no beams or towers, the USA Q total was way down.  OTOH
10 meters to VK/ZL was like shooting fish in a barrel at end of test with low
angle take off from 10 meter four square!

Decided to keep butt in chair through the rough conditions and it paid off.
