Rig: FT1K MK5 / Alpha 91B / N1MM

Antenna: 60' high inverted-L and as many odd radials as can be squeezed around a house on a 5000sqft city lot. 

I was tied up all day working on an antenna project away from my home QTH, so by the time I got home, rested up, and fed it was pretty late (my 1st QSO was at 07:13 UTC). I was still pretty tired, so I decided that I would just do a little search and pounce for a while then head back to bed. Went QRT at 08:35 and then got back up at 13:30 and did more S&P until the end. Best points were CE1/K7CA and 2 JA's (JA3YBK and JH4UYB) at 18 points each. A close 2nd and the highlight of my effort was finding and working EI2CN at his sunrise (17 points). Also worked KV4, HQ9, and KH6. Heard OA4TT CQing and later answering people, but
couldn't connect. 

Always great fun making a few QSOs on topband.
