Comments:

10m is a band where my 30' high tribander is almost high enough (well, if you
ignore the fact that I'm looking into a hill to the East.)

The Reverse Beacon Network tells the story of this contest for me. On Friday
night, I was spotted at 50dB at N2IC (and also spotted at K3LR, NC7J, and
KU7T-2.)  All Saturday and Sunday... ZERO skimmer spots!

>From the human point of view, first night was fun following the Es around. First
nothing but AZ, then CO, then UT, then ID, etc.  Best "DX" was MO. 
Not sure if that's a 2-hop or a long 1-hop.  Went to bed in a good mood.  
 Unfortunately, that was not to continue.  Single digit rates and no more Es for
the remainder of the contest.  Saturday got on at 9 AM and it was nothing but a
few CA all day, with the exception of one CE. Heard an LU but couldn't work him.
 Sunday got on at 9 AM and more of the same, except even fewer CAs.  Managed one
more CE. Not even K9YC's spotting me helped. 

Very little phone activity audible here. Also, discovered that my IC-7610 SD
Card reader seems to have gone south, so couldn't use DVR for voice CQ.

Total CA = 76, then AZ = 16, CO = 15, UT = 9, ID = 4, WY = 2, CE = 2, and one of
each of NV, MO and MT.

Local big gun stations were working more, but not here in Mudville...mighty WD6T
has struck out.

IC-7610, PW-1, KT34A @ 30 feet
