Comments:
The "Plan" was to op the full 10 hours.  Op 3 hours, break 1hr, op 4 hours, break, fin big in the last 3 hours.
The start was great.  20 was hot and  the rates were smok'en.  At break I was 55 Qs ahead of sked.  Went I returned
I was greeted with the "blue screen of death."  A couple of reboots, a lost 30 minutes and back at it. Ah but the 
mojo was gone and so was the "Plan.".  Slowly the rates dropped and band conditions with it.  
I must have missed most of the 15 opening.  I only got 30 minutes before dropping back to 20.
40 started out good but didn't last long.  80 the same.  I've done better on 160 with the HW vertical but this time very 
few could hear me.
Band condition in general were poorer then the CW weekend dispite a 80+ flux and a jump'en sunspot!  My impression
was less activity.  A check of the cluster showed less westcoast contest spotting.   I did work most 
US states but very few VE sections.
Thanks to you cheerleads out there the help is appreciated.
