Comments:

Two years since I've done this Single-op, and the station 
has been completely redone three times in past three 
weeks, so I fumbled a lot, sorry!  Wrong messages in the 
F keys - I thought I checked that! Rotor controls were 
criss-crossed so I sometimes pointed the wrong antenna. 
Maybe it helped?  

I had an unscheduled break at 1930Z when the computer 
froze up and needed to be rebooted. 10m was weak, I could 
see faint traces of other people having an opening, but 
not up in here in the NW corner pocket. 15m and 20m 
carried the load all afternoon. Then I took a long break 
at 0100Z to let the sun sink lower before I tried QRP on 
low bands, sunset not being until 0340Z. Low bands actually 
seemed better than the earlier struggles on 15m.

The best parts of the day were lots of nice friendly ops!
