Comments:

10 Meters - mornings fill from 28.300 to 29.6 Mhz.   119 countries - a best for me.


DXCC on three bands.  Worked a total of 145 countries.


Solar Flux - 217 and Sun Spots - 138 - Problem was A index was 12.


20 meters never came alive.


A big difference on the afternoon JA's runs.  Normally work 300 plus JA's. this
year only 179.  Have discuss this with a couple of JA's - their feelings were
the bands were so good - the JA's were able to work lots of good DX, with out
having to work the USA. 

40 meters was down, as I do not operate from 8:00 pm to midnight.

At age of 72, have notice the drop in seat time.  No longer the plus 30 hours.

Antenna: 4 element SteppIR at full height.
Acom 2000A and an IC-7800.

Now lets see what happens with CQ WW CW - if the 32 day sun rotation works, bands
should be alive.
