 Comments:  My best outing from this crummy location in many years. Woohoo! 
Raised the wimpy 20m dipole three feet and it's maybe 10 ft above ground 
now. Still well below the operating position on the second floor.  Damn 
HOA's!  Thank god for cable TV though or I'd be TVI'ing all the neighbors! 
Clip on 40m extensions give me the all important second band. 20m seemed hot 
at 2300 but stunk after 0000z.  I have no 80m antenna and had to run 
barefoot into the 40m dipole instead. With a 940S with its solid state 
final, you can imagine what the output power and ERP were like.  (Can't run 
the amp with such a high SWR.)  Still, four stations came back.  Hope I made 
SCCC #2 proud.

Used "Don" as my name in honor of W6EEN.  Don, your name works better than 
mine in these things but still, a half dozen or so stations needed repeats. 
They were probably using some sort of auto-fill.

One final note.  That good friend of ours, N6TR, is everywhere. And loud 
everywhere. I think he must have had 300 band changes this time around. I 
wish more of his operating skill wore off on me while we were attending SCCC 
meetings together in the 1980's.

Great fun, and I should try to invite myself to some San Diego area MM's 
next contest season.  I think some of my rust is wearing away now...
