Comments:

Never heard a JA. Farthest distance was to OK, S5, and 9A. Europe signals were
very weak and lots of repeats on both ends. 

My first semi-serious Stew with a shunt-fed tower and two elevated radials over
nearly pure limestone on a hilltop and a SAL30 receiving array down the hill
near a creek bottom  with real dirt. The equipment seemed to work fine, but the
opening to EU seemed really difficult and poor to me. I went back to bed an hour
before sunrise, but not sure it would have made much difference to JA/Asia. 

Thanks to all for the contacts and activity.
