        Well...no excuses...except bands sure went to pot today.  Wife
even cooked me steak and eggs
for breakfast to give me "go" power...but "ole sole" sure didn't help the
cause.  Was maintaining 100/hr ave after 14 hours but things slowed down
after that. A few mults seemed to be really hard...KY, ND, HI and
NT...had the rest relatively early on.  Had KY and ND before bed but
added several more today.  HI came along today...but only ended up with 3
HI Q's.  Someone stopped by and told me VY1MB was calling cq down the
band on 20 and didn't have many takers....so I gladly gave up my "run" to
go S&Ping and luckily got him for the last one. Talk about some nice
guys...didn't even get the guys call!  Great scores by Danny, Craig and
Ken.  I was on way to break my "SLUI" record but band gave out and didn't
make it.  Well I guess I can't brag about breaking a record at the bottom
of the cycle!!!  But overall great action for "bottom" of cycle.  Haven't
learned my lesson to get up a 160 meter antenna....that will come...may
still be worth something for a couple of years.  Anyway...great fun as
always. 73 - Dick
