Soapbox: Well, between waiting on the wife, home from hosp from
a knee operation; fixing lunch, dinner, and breakfast; answering
the phone; breaking up a fight between the cats; and a few other
house hold type things, I still managed to get in right at 15 hrs
of op time in this one.. The big upper was catching BX0AAC and
C5XH, both new ones for me. The downer was the lack of activity 
on 40 and 80! - and the wierd up/down in/out propagations Sunday 
morning.  Thanks to the EA URE for a great contest and to all the
EA ops who worked me. And of course, a big thanks to all the ops 
who just got on for a few contacts or who were searching for that 
elusive DX contact. You're the ones who really make any contest 
a success!
