Comments:

As it always seems to happen, my plan to spend 30 hours in the chair  
was thwarted by real life.  On the other hand, the time I did get to  
spend operating was a lot of fun!

There were some nice openings to EU in the mornings, and both 20 and  
15 behaved beautifully during the day.  Friday night saw some activity  
on 40, but I never did have much luck on either 80 or 160 either night.

I worked KH6LC on 6 bands (thanks, Lloyd!), and I worked Kurt, VP9/ 
W6PH on 3 bands.  I also scored several new ones for me, including  
4U1UN who had a great signal but no ears.

Chasing VP6DX was also a lot of fun.  I spent 30 minutes getting  
through the pileup on 40 meters, but got him on the first call on 10  
and 160.  I also took some time to get them on SSB where I could.

Worked the K2 into a half-kilowatt amp on 10-80; barefoot on 160.   
Software was Writelog.

I will not be around for most of the SSB contest in March, but will  
get on when I can.

73,

John, WA6L
