Comments:

Very decent condx on all bands inspite of a CME spoiling the fun Friday nite.
All S&P on the low bands but did run the EU and JA openings on 20 and 15.
Hard to find open QRGs on those bands. 

Worked almost everything heard, spotted and called. Nice to Q some AF stations
but no rare ones or new DXCC countries. Even with high QRN and flutter, was
suprised at how many EU were heard and worked on 40, plus good LP action from EU
at Saturday SR. Only SA and OC openings on 10 with no EU and only 1 JA.

Bagged 10 6 banders and a hoard of 5 banders. Finally broke a million pts.

Had problems with plate tuning caps arcing on a recently acquired amp so held
the power at 500w. Local QRN levels have increased here recently so had to use
receiving antennas out in the pasture instead of the beam on the high bands to
hear the weak sigs. Needed lots of repeats on most ESP callers at the noise
level.

The EU pileups needing the MT mult got frustrating at times. Need more Morse
Runner practice.  The JA pileups are always better behaved.
