Comments:

Blechhh! Conditions were horrible, so this one was a domestic contest for the
most part. Just 70 QTCs exchanged, almost all with South American stations,
which were scarce anyway. The JA opportunities were limited here, for some
reason -- a few brief runs but volume wasn't there, and just one QTC request
from across the Pacific.

Ran the second radio fairly hard in this one, using the 40M 2-element quad on
the second radio (worked best on 15M but was pressed into service on 20M and
10M a time or two while I had the yagi on 15M). Made 115 second-radio contacts,
or about one-fifth of the total.

N1MM clock says I put in 21 hours, but I was called upon to do a lot of work
this weekend in several installments, so my real operating time was more like
15 hours.

Had fun despite the lack of access to Europe on the high bands. 40M late
Saturday evening into Europe was amazing -- 100W couldn't make the hop but
stations were remarkably loud here and had the amp been on it would have been a
feeding frenzy. Hope I get a night like that for CQWW CW in two weeks -- that
will really help the score.

Now on to SS Phone next weekend. Can't say I'm eagerly looking forward to that
one, but it is on the road to CQWW CW the following week so I'll put up with a
few hours of talking along the way.
