Comments:

Friday evening and Saturday were a bust. I mostly just kept an eye on 50kHz of
waterfall to watch for openings. N6KN was eardrum-busting as usual and N6AA was
copyable with effort, but nothing else was heard or seen on the waterfall either
day. 

Got a lazy start around 1600z on Sunday morning, not really expecting much and
not seeing or hearing much either. Then the waterfall started to come to life
with WA and OR stations. That faded after a while but then I started to get some
decent propagation from W3 and W8, then later W2 and W4. By 2000z, most of the
signals were gone. 

Almost all QSOs were S&P since running was not too productive. I got more
weak, uncopyable responses than workable ones, and had to use the SRI message
more than the TU message. Operated S&P at 100W and ran at 50W, even though I
feel like an alligator at 5W. Best and only DX was FY, but I worked a few new
states for 10M WAS. Yeah, I don't get on 10M much. 

Elecraft KX3, PX3, KXPA, and inverted-vee dipole at 22 feet.
