Comments: Well guys....not so great for the time spent and being Assisted
- but I was there!  
Just didn't seem to get off to a good start - had very poor rates first
couple of hours and things didn't 
seem to  improve.  Don't know exactly what happened.  N6VR and WA6FGV
were on from 
SB Sec...but didn't catch up with N6VR until next to last section! 
Finally got NL before 
church on Sunday morning for the sweep...of course Assisted helped.  
Interesting condx 
on 80 and 40 - band was pretty noisy early in the evening but after about
1030 PM things 
got quiet and local and all stateside sigs sounded good - surprising. 
Hopefully can have
better showing on SSB.  

PS.  Got new US HDX-455 Motorized Crank-up installed - nice to have
motorized tower
for aging op...hihi.  Anyone interested in used TX-455 in good condx -
have T-Bar and 
Raising fixture - make reasonable offer.  Tower is on ground ready to be
hauled away.
