Comments:

First hour on 20m was lots of fun. Then I couldn't 
find any new stations, or get any answers to my CQs.

Reluctantly, I went up to 40m and struggled. Very 
noisy as a thunderstorm moved in, very rare up 
here in the Northwest. I started hearing loud thunder 
at 0140Z and the lights flickered a few times, so 
I disconnected the antennas and took a break. Storm 
was leaving my area after 20 minutes so I jumped 
back in. Still noisy, and I was running late, as 
the band seemed to be emptying out. Either people 
leaving for 80m, giving up, or the band "going 
long." I tuned the band numerous times looking for 
any new stations. 

Time to "go wild" with QRP on 80m! No answers to 
my CQs, and everyone CQ-ed "in my face" when I 
called them. The only trace visible back on 20m 
was T30D worked on RTTY and QRP! 40m only had loud 
CQers I had already worked. Ok, then some more 
80m character building. The end finlly came, and 
I'm embarassed to see I didn't even work 
90 stations, ouch!
