Comments:

All goals are meant to be broken. In this case I had a personal worst...

It was a busy weekend with fall cleanup of our Maine home on the docket,
so I did not spend a lot of time.  This probably saved me much frustration!

160 was noisy and with only 3 Qs much worse than usual.
80 was about the same as always.
40 was active, with too much QRM for my vertical to cut through,
        and I did worse then normal.
20 was very active -- LP and a simple wire dipole did not cut it,
        and I did much worse than usual.
15 -- lots of signals and spots.  Using a 40M vertical on 15 for
        DX is crazy -- isn't that the definition of doing the same
        thing and expecting different results?  But it was my
        most productive band.
10 looked busy with lots of spots, but with just a dipole it was a
        failure with only one Q - thanks KC1XX!

We continue to look for our next home here, where I plan on real antennas.
