Comments:

Stop three on my annual CW SS tour. Home has often  been a very successful 
stop,
but things never really clicked this year. I did  not seem to have the usual
crazy (but fun) packet pileups of other years.  Missed WY, NE, VE2-4-5-6-8, 
and
PR. 

But to make up for those misses,  I did work NL twice. I found a lonely 
VO1BZM
on 40 meters mid day, and then a  bit later heard VO1TA on 15 with a big 
signal
and a big pileup. Said what the  heck, dumped in one call with the beam 
pointed
west, and he came back.
