Comments:

When things started off (on 10m) I thought [great golly Miss Molly here we
go!]...and then reality struck.  As the midday crawled closer, the dry Santa
Ana conditions were much more evident. Soon there was no ten worth slugging it
out & I had to move.

15 was good but not great and when I finished, I had not YET worked a GA
station - huh? (In the end I missed ME RI VT DE GA WY and of course those
pesky semi-rare VE hams who are just plain 'provincial')

As I knew that I was stuck with SFI of 90, I set my mind to two band goals -
over 100 and over 35 mults... 80m came close but that is my weakest band and
I was tickled & pickled to keep working mults and folks that had previously found me on the other bands.

The 40m 'window of opportunity - the old Novice Band - was a super hideout and
provided lots of entertainment value in the early dusk hours out here.

Thanks for the effort by everyone and I really had a great time in this one and
will be anxious to see how the SCCC teams did.

WN6K, Paul
