Comments:

Thanks a bunch to John, N3HBX, for the use of his excellent station. No
beverages due to soybeans in the field, but bands were fairly quiet after
some
light crashing Friday night. 

I dont imagine anyone broke any records this year!  10 was just dead and 15
wasnt much better.  I managed to work one I and one EA on Sunday there for
double mults!  Woo hoo! My score was down about 10 percent from last year
but I
was amazed it wasnt a lot worse.  Q total was impressive considering...

I got caught napping Sunday morning when 20 opened at least 45 minutes
earlier
than on Saturday and I struggled to come up with a run frequency.  20
actually
came to life late on Sunday with some very loud JA's and a couple zone 19's,
but no depth - perhaps cause it was Monday morning over there!  Also snagged
a
couple of VK's and ZL's long path late Sunday.

As would be expected 20 and 40 were packed with stations.  20 was
amazing...just a bottomless pit of stations even with depressed conditions
for
most of the weekend.  "I got nowhere else to go!" kept playing over and over
in
my head!  40 was a slug-fest, but ended up with some halfway decent runs way
up
around 7050-7060.  Also picked up a JA calling CQ well out of the window at
around 7040 Saturday AM.

73, Ty K3MM
