Comments:

At the last minute my weekend schedule changed due to an unexpected visit from
relatives, so my operating hours were significantly affected.

Operated the first couple of the hours of the contest continuously, but was
surprised to hear no JAs (or other Asia) and barely any SA. However, stations
that would normally be in the 20m skip zone in California/Arizona were loud and
workable.

Saturday morning 20 was open to Europe starting at local sunrise, but only had
about 2 hours before having to leave home. Worked the remainder of the contest
remotely back to my home station 30 minutes here and there as time permitted.
