Comments:

I was hoping for better conditions on the high bands, but many signals were very
weak due the high K index and noisy bands.  Made a few more QSOs than last
year.

15m opening at night the first night was a nice surprise.  I can't remember the
last time I worked a VU on 15m from here.

I could not use 2BSIQ very much on most band combinations because of some type
of passive intermod in the JA direction, probably from some neighborhood device,
that generates spurious signals on all bands in certain directions.

The new QSK update in the Elecraft K4 was a huge improvement over all prior use.
 The rig remains a pleasure to use, and the 50 Hz Audio Peaking Filter (APF)
really helped pull a lot of stations out of the noise.
