100% S&P -- My CW listening skills are meager at best: I need to 
    listen a few times to copy the exchange, esp >15wpm.  
    (Better yet - I really need to get disciplined about LEARNING cw.)

Friday night was decent, Saturday was OK, Sunday was a slog.  The sun
gave us a double-whammy this year!

The noisy bands did not help my meager CW skills.  10 was very weak,
15 was spotty.  40 & 20 were the useful bands.  The one 160 Q was 
just so I can say I did it!  80 was a disappointment, as that is the 
last band on which I need DXCC for 5BDXCC.

I keep thinking that my W1 prefix is common -- but then I didn't log a W1!

73 -- Larry -- W1DYJ
