Comments:

My father-in-law passed away last week and the memorial service was on Saturday.
 The service and visiting with family was wonderful. That eliminated Saturday
from operating.

Really enjoyed my few hours on the air.  Nothing like getting to 15 meters for
the first time on Sunday morning.  The pileup was intense! Made me truly
realize how valuable it is to tune off the spot frequency.  Those were the guys
that got through fastest.

Best 60 mins was 210 QSOs.

DX contests are really fun when you are not trying to win anything.  You can
come and go as you like.  Conditions were surprisingly good during the times I
was on.  10m was spotty on Sunday, but there were some loud Europeans.  Worked
JA on 80-15.

Worked 19 stations on 6 bands: 6Y1D 8P5A 9A1A CR3W CU4DX KP2M OL7M OM2VL P40XM
PJ2T PJ4X PJ6A SN7Q TI5W TO7A V26M VP2MWA YL2SM ZF1A

Thanks to all the Europeans that helped fill my log.

40m antenna had high SWR.  It seemed to get out, but I wasn't hearing very
well.

160m antenna toward Europe was broken.  Missed some mults because of that.

Couldn't switch the 80m 4 square on Friday night.

Station is falling apart from old age.  Time to do some maintenance this
summer.
