Comments:

Thanks again to Frank Donovan, W3LPL, for letting me take his station for a
spin.  I was about 7000 points below my all-time best score in this one (Low
Power) from 2013.

This was a switch from last year when Friday night was terrible and Saturday
night was pretty good.  This year, Friday night was good - particularly for a
few hours before European sunrise.  Saturday wasn't terrible but a lot of
Europeans couldn't hear my low-power signal.  I heard two JAs Sunday morning at
our sunrise - one of them started CQing on my run frequency - but they couldn't
hear me.
