How did I miss VE4EA, at least on 40M?  That's easy -- lack of agility
between S&P and running.

Heard VE5MX, not loud, S&P at one point.  Then I learned at the RSM Zoom
meeting on Thursday anbout his losing towers to the wind storm.  Ouch!  I
had not even heard about that storm until it was discussed at the meeting.

Starting a bit after nightfall (2340Z).  15M dead.  A few quick mults on
20M.
40M pretty good, then straight down to 160M for a flurry of easy mults, and
then
working on 80M, where rates were great. Three runs of about 45 QSOs each at
123/h4, 111/hr, and 130/hr.  And the final 27 minutes yielded 46 QSOs from
running on 80M.

Best QSO total ever, by a big margin, but score well below best ever (2015)
because of lack of high-band mults.

I probably should have S&P'd more efficiently to increase both mult and QSO
totals, but, man, did I ever have fun running!
