Comments:

What a weekend! I have too many life pressures bearing down on me simultaneously
to put in the full effort I wanted to. By Saturday evening, I was pretty
dejected. I did OK, but not up to my standards. I had to fight for just about
every QSO and I just couldn't get any kind of run going. It was brutal.

I awoke pretty early Sunday and there wasn't much to be logged before sunrise,
but then EU opened as it always does and things got more fun. I FINALLY landed a
fruitful run frequency on 14224 that netted me 101 QSOs in a little under an
hour. An hour after that dried up, I started a great run on 21264 that yielded
another 300 or so in just over two hours. THAT made the weekend worth all the
battles!

Again, my lousy Tic-Ring failed to turn my 20m yagi, so it was stuck on EU.
That's a good place to be stuck, but I failed to land a LOT of QSOs and mults
outside of EU. I only logged two JAs and both were battles!

Thanks to all of my friends around the world! It was fun to meet all of you for
a brief few seconds each time! I can't wait for the CW weekend!
