Soapbox: I was up on the roof when the contest started,
fiddling with antennas.  My computer clock was about 8 minutes
slow for the first hour or more.  I fixed it when I discovered
the problem.  I was visited about 3 times by a good next-door
neighbor who said I was coming in on his TV set, even when it
was turned off.  I was making his garage door open and close,
and his garage lights flash on and off.  Ferrites, filters,
bypass capacitors.  Garage door is OK now.  The TV set problem
is weird... I'll get to that later.

Conditions were way better than I expected, and a good EU run
on 15 was experienced.  I worked several EU on 10m, too!

On Saturday night, I heard a KH6 finishing up a CW rag-chew on 3.506,
and called him.  I had a rag-chew with him (Max).  I told him my name
was George, and explained that I was having fun in the Cal QSO Party,
and he was my 730th contact.  All of the CA counties were on, and I
was in Santa Clara county.  He said he wasn't in the contest, but my
number was 579 if I needed it.  It was a considerably longer exchange
than SS, even, but it was my only HI contact, so it was worth it!

On Sunday I was called by ND (the only one I heard) on 15m phone,
and I got #1 from him.

Several ME, SC, MT and ID.  Only one RI.

Fewer QSO's than last year, but not by a whole lot.

Nothing (in my shack) broke, and the new Sigma-80 performed well on 80 CW.

I had fun!
