Comments:

When the contest first started, seemed like it was going to be the S.Calif QSO
party, but then after about 30 minutes started hearing other states. Spent
Friday evening back and forth between productive CQing and S&Ping. Broke for
dinner when it seemed like activity was slowing and then discovered after
returning to the shack that there was still propagation to the east.

After the Friday evening experience, hoped Saturday would be more of the same.
Initially, Saturday morning seemed like the Florida QSO Party, but had many
periods of unproductive CQing. Activity seemed to die early Saturday evening.
Had no time to operate Sunday.
