Comments: Great start...but got TVI call 45 min into 'test...ugh.  Worked
with neighbor and all is ok---but a real scare!  Friday evening
20 was great but 40 & 80 were VERY noisy.  Didn't look too promising for
weekend - especially with 10 and 15 not too
good.  10 and 15 still not good on Sat and 20 was pretty puny....I don't
think I worked any EU on 20 on Sat.  After dinner
on Sat evening...80 and 40 were pretty good...several EU on 40 (even with
a dipole - and of course AN8A, etc on 80 too.
Didn't get back on until Sun afternoon...20 was better...worked several
EU pfx's then had several African's come back to 
CQing.  Overall...about 150 less Q's than last year and about 50 less
mult's for about same amount of operating time. 
Hope CW weekend is better....73's for now - Dick.
