This was an extremely casual effort. I quit at 10 pm each night and did a
couple hourss each morning before sunrise. Conditions seemed okay but I had
a
lot of atmospheric noise until an hour after sunset especially on Saturday
night.

I missed NL, WMA(?), NNY, NLI, PR, and YT. My last two sections were WV
(K8JQ)
and MB (VE4VT) at Sunday morning sunrise. I only worked one EMA (W1UE) who
popped out of the noise long enough to make the contact. I had no problem
working all the California sections though. :-)

It is always nice to run across the many friends I have made over the
years.
