Really amazing conditions... many hours of openings to Europe and the 
Far East, often at the same time.  Other SCCCers reported this 
already.  Conditions were good enough that even a plain-vanilla K6 
could make QSOs!

  Watching conditions during the period prior to the contest, I was 
expecting all-night band openings on 20m and wasn't 
disappointed.  The antenna is a stacked pair of old KLM five-element 
Yagis (up since 1980 and '81).  The half-wave balun on the high 
antenna appears to be ready to fall off the boom, as the old black 
tape is gone, but apparently the lugs are holding it for now.  Thirty 
years of wear-and-tear due to redtail hawks!  The lower Yagi rotates, 
but the indicator is suspect because there is a defective control 
cable in the underground conduit-- so I could rotate the side-mounted 
lower one only occasionally, during daylight when I could see it 
through the shack window.

Congrats to all the SCCCers who put in the effort to be active.
