          Antennas : Alpha-Delta sloper 160-80-40-30
                     Cushcraft R6000 vertical 20-6
   Soapbox : First sweep from home QTH with modest power and antennas.
   About 15 hours chair time; not easy pickings.  Some comments on sections:

   NT:  VE8EV first QSO on 10M, after failing to break pileups on several W6's
   MB:  All over the place; the only section I missed last year
   NNY: Quite a few active this year
   PR:  Hanging out on 15 (1634 Sunday)
   AR:  One of the holdouts; worked right after QSY to 20 at 1745 Sunday
   ONN: Tail-ended VE3RX to move him up 4 (not his freq.)
   QC:  Ditto for VE2GSO.  Worked him on 10 (surprisingly short skip).
   NL:  Couldn't break VO1KVT's pileup on 10, even when he called by numbers.
        Worked him after a couple of calls later (2118 Sunday) on 15.
   PAC: Found NH6Y where I expected (10) at 2250 Sunday.
   KY:  Worked KM4RO on 75, 20 minutes before the end.  Never could get
        KD4SN (who seemed to be 100% S&P) by tail-ending and requesting QSY.

All told, a satisfying adventure.  Almost all S&P.  Disconnected the
antennas during our storm but that was over in a couple of hours.
Hope there are no busted sections due to my bad ears or fat logging fingers.
