Comments:

My goal was 1350 x 100, I missed it, but that's OK.  Right out of the start, I
go to grab my Heil Proset and put it on to find that there was no audio from
the right earpiece. The switch was broken and hanging......no clue. Only
headphones I could find were earbuds.....from my 6 year old's iPad - not ideal
but they worked :)

Mults were down from times past. First night was a CQ fest. Atmospheric noise
was low and I was able to sit on a frequency for hours with no issues. On
Saturday morning when I stopped I had 918 Qs in the log. I had also not even
heard a European.

Saturday night here was total QRN. I sat at the radio around 5pm local and
really worked for what little I got up to midnight. At that point the noise was
so bad my head hurt so I took a long nap. I did manage some EU stations. As for
sections, I missed NL ,NT and NNY, got the rest with KL7 being my last.
I did a lot of hunting on second radio while CQing, not a lot of Q's but it
helped keep me awake.
