Comments:  Fun! Seemed to have great opening into EU on 40 early first
evening then a little later 80 sounded great - off to a good start!
Missed prime morning hours both days - but had plenty of fun.  Mostly S&P
- a couple of good JA runs on 20.  Band didn't seem to sound
as good 2nd evening but noise decrease later and early morning.  More
"spots" would sure be helpful but was surprised how much dx.
Didn't seem to work many EU's who were less than kW - so 2nd tier guys were
hard to hear.  Think I worked Jim, N6TJ/NP3U, on 4 bands
- missed him on 10 and 160.  Worked Kurt - VP9/W6PH on 3 bands - but 160 was
near esp...tnx for QSY Kurt!
Worked several guys on 5 bands:160-15.  Hope everyone had fun.  See you next
time.
