Comments:

Saturday was my 50th reunion at MIT, so I couldn't operate until 
Sunday morning.  From 9 AM Sunday until 11 PM I was able to put about 
9 hours into the contest.  6M was as open as in any contest I can 
remember.  The E-cloud hop started in the middle of EM and drifted 
north to the middle of EN as usual, and then disappeared.  

But Wait -- there is more!  It opened again to the top of EL
and the bottom of EM.  In fact, 6M took so much of my time that 
I really didn't spend enough time on 2M and 70cm.  

I finally put my 432 yagi up on the roof last week and it worked 
as well as the 2M yagi.  I also learned a lot about how narrow 
an 18 element yagi can be!

This was the 20th year I have operated this contest and it proved 
to be my 2nd best score.
