Comments:

Wall to wall all weekend!  Did have some decent runs on Saturday morning but was
not able to establish anything of any significance on Sunday, so ended up mostly
S&Ping.  Also, I had difficulty even holding a run frequency for more than a
few minutes either day. 

This the first year in quite a while where I did not have any equipment
problems (but I had the usual operator screw-up problems).  Last year I was
only able to operate for 14 hours and of course my score was about half this
years.  But I did have a personal best score 2 years ago where I had worked
over 2100 contacts for a score of over 2.8M!  And this was with operating for
just 28 hours!  I seriously doubt that I can ever come close to this score
again.

10M was a disappointment this year and all of my contacts except for two with
Eu were with Caribbean/Central/South America.  Conditions were much better on
the lower bands but I did have some problems with rain static Saturday evening
so I quit early and went to bed.

Thanks for all the contacts!

73, Sam W4PK
