Comments:

Surprising 10m opening on Sunday. Even when it finally seemed to die out it came
back. I worked S58N at 18:37Z. I don't which of us was more surprised. I'm sure
the K-index spiking to 5 had something to do with it. Contests are good for
drawing attention to odd openings that would otherwise go unnoticed from lack
of activity.

Funniest moment was when a station worked another with the prefix SUE and asked
if he was a lawyer. There was much laughter on frequency.

I upped my power from the more typical QRP I've run the past couple of years.
The extra 13 db make SSB a more enjoyable contest mode. It was good to refresh
my running technique, and spend less time getting through the pile-ups.
