Comments:

Got home from a business trip late Saturday night (local) so missed the first 28
hours.  Messed around a little on 40 and 80 and went to bed.  Put in a pretty
decent effort on Sunday morning and afternoon, with some breaks for family
stuff.  

Overall the conditions seemed good, at least on Sunday - I have no idea how
Saturday was.  It was nice to see 15 and 10 as productive as they were.  15 was
amazing to EU.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well things went overall.  But
I didn't hear any VKs or ZLs on any bands - may have just missed them.  The only
JA I heard was JA3YBK which I was able to get on 20 and 15.   There was quite a
bit of Arctic flutter on the OHs and the KL7s later on Sunday.  The pile-up on
T32AZ (10M) was too big to try and he wasn't that strong here. The pile-ups on
20 for Caribbean and SA mults in the last couple hours were ridiculous with
some poor operating ethics on display.  

I ended up working 78 separate countries.  And most importantly I had fun.
