Weird conditions. Fifteen was open to Europe, but the openings seemed marginal. Ten meters was pretty slim pickens, but surprised me with a few Europeans late in the afternoon Saturday. Overall my QSO rates weren't all that good except for an amazing run of W's on 20SSB Saturday evening. I probably stayed there too long at the cost of my multiplier total, but it was way too much fun to pass up. Fourty was a big disappointment on Sunday morning, but eighty meters surprised me with a decent run of JAs that blasted right through the summertime QRN.

Hopefully, next time the sun will be more cooperative.
