Comments:

First 5 hours produced roughly 20 Q/hour for 100.  Used to be a good HF
half-hour.  Sunday was a slog virtually all the time.  Weird to not have any
real openings to W1/2/3/8/9/VE.  

There is no HP 3-band entry.  Nor is there a 6M category.  Amp is temporarily
off-line.

39 SSB and 3 CW QSOs.  The rest are FT8.  Never saw FT4 activity at all.  LP
doesn't work very well, so no MSK144 either. 

Those non-FT8 QSOs were mostly with stations never seen on FT8.  Once FT8 -
always FT8?  Band was wide open to W5/0, but the volume just wasn't there. 
Briefly saw AZ Sat evening which was FB beyond one hop.  

Alleged DQRM from a WA2 forced HP 6M guy S of me off - totally unnecessary to
say the least.

Didn't see much W6/7 activity.  

Next year, the Jan. event is not going to start on the 15th which I believe is
the earliest possible start date.  Am I still the only one who advocates a swap
with the RTTY Roundup?  Comments for many years have presumably fallen on deaf
ears, although feedback is good.
