Comments:

This was a partial effort due to not feeling well and not enjoying the
conditions Friday night (QRT @ 04z).  I had some kind of noise that sounded like
Beverage wires touching metal and making copy difficult.  I even went out with a
flashlight to see if one of them had fallen.  It turned out it was not my
antennas but possibly a bad spurious from someone.  Anyway I decided to go to
bed around 0400 and hope for better conditions Saturday.  

I looked for JAs both mornings at sunrise but conditions were poor and I only
logged 6.  DS2JJW was a pleasant surprise Sunday morning (never heard him
before).  Saturday night was much better and I was even able to run stations
about 30 minutes before my sunset.  R8TT and RY9C were pleasant surprises but I
never heard any zone 19 Russians at sunrise.  I suppose RW0CN was enjoying the
better weather at FS!  Another highlight was working QRPer G4DBN near his
sunrise for my only trans-Atlantic QRP contact.  I always love those little
surprises!

Thanks to everyone for your patience and congrats in advance to Jeff VY2ZM who
surely set a new record for W/VE on 160.

73,  Bill  W4ZV
