Comments:

Short report: All bands acted their parts, except 10M, which didn't show up.
Sunday was far better than Saturday on 20M and 15M here. 

Third best-ever outing in this one. Another 160 Qs would have put me on par
with last year, which was my goal. Missed it by 'that' much. Got slammed on
state/prov mults with 10M missing in action, and 15M too long for the closer-in
states.

Equipment ran well. N1MM Logger Plus is stellar. The SB221 amp is a
stump-pulling workhorse. The 40M quad worked as well as it ever has to Europe,
once I discovered the next morning that on the first night I had been pumping
all my 40M power into a 20-foot-tall trapped vertical (my lousy second antenna
for 10-20M). New, more visible labels have now been added to both coaxes. If
you worked me on 40M Friday night, special thanks. You shouldn't have been able
to hear me.

Great to work Phil GU0SUP on 20M this afternoon through a bee's nest of callers
over the pole. Also thanks to ZL3X, KG6DX and T88ON for calling in on 15M just
when I was running short of new mults. Double-mults from HK and LU in the final
hour on 20M were happy surprises (should have checked the missing mult list to
know I hadn't worked them yet).
