Comments:

I got off to a great start, but when  twenty dried up (both activity and
propagation) things turned ugly. 40  sucked, nothing within 800 miles or so,
plus an all day lake effect snow  lead to more power line noise than 
normal. At
0150z I got up and took a 10  minute break to decide if I wished to continue
beating my head against the  proverbial wall.

I decided to bear the pain, and not long after that 80  became a usable
alternative. FB conditions there, with probably the biggest  single band QSO
total in many years. Lots of good mults. I got a #1 out of  Zach, WB1MG, 
who was
in the VT QSO Party, but missed BC where I guess I  should have done the 
same
with somebody in their QSO Party. Still it was  well into the third hour 
until I
worked places like IL, VA, ON, and  NH.

See you in two weeks with my KX3 from a nice place with palm  trees.
