Comments:

Nothing worked on 15m - though there were a couple of weak traces.
20m was booming, I ran and jumped like crazy to get Qs while the 
getting was good. Eventually people left to 40m and I followed the 
crowd. Progress cam to a screeching halt on 40m as I could barely 
decode anyone, even with dual decoders (MMTTY and 2Tone).  I 
struggled along, missing lots of Qs. I finally figured out that the 
Noise Blanker was on (Flex saves the settings by band) so when I 
switched to 40m I suddenly had a NB on that was blanking your 
fine RTTY signals.  Turned it off and I could copy again!  Made a 
few QSOs and then made the strategic error to go to 80m to see if 
I could pickup a Mult. Just weak traces, AJ6V finally decoded, but 
no Qs made on 80m.
