Comments:

Did fairly well considering my 160 inv-L was down. Missed many mults from that.
Use it on 80 too since it gives me better performance close in than the 40/80
elevated vertical. Had to walk back and forth to an outbuilding to change base
loading on elevated vertical whenever I wanted to switch from 40 to 80. That
made band changes more tedious. Stayed longer on one band than I normally do
because of that.

Goal was 120K. Didn't make it. CME hurt as did lack of 10 meters being open. 

Spent considerable time improving SO2R skills. That really helped. And did
fairly well running, until I became tired. Then things slipped a bit. Doing
better at CW and comfortable at 32 wpm now. 30 and lower seems too slow. That's
a good thing. As CW proficiency increases CW SO2R becomes easier too.

Thanks for all the q's.
