Comments:

Knowing I would have little radio time this weekend, I thought I'd try sticking
to  a one-band operation. Whether 20M was the proper choice or not, I don't
know; but I had a lot of practice confirming Spots and pre-fills at speeds
beyond my comfort level. It was also a good workout for the new Acom 1000 now
in the shack.
All S&P operation with a goal of 100 contacts (achieved). I spent probably
too much time eking out DX / weak contacts, primarily to hone CW skill copying
weak signals.
A few western EU contacts made it into the log, but mostly SA, the Caribbean,
and Canada. Possibly I missed the best times for EU, but propagation seemed not
all that good when I was OTA.

Equipment:
K3/100
Acom 1000
Hexbeam
N1MM+
