Comments:

As usual, I stayed on 10m more than I should have.  15m really was the money
band, and I should have been on it more.

With my rotor stuck northeast, I knew I could not be competitive this weekend.
Working south America was tough, and I could not do my usual running of JAs on
10 and 15.

I was not on 80m on Friday night, and when I was on 80 Saturday night, it was as
dead as I have seen it in my 15 years on 80 meters.  Not noisy at all, but I
just could not hear any DX.  Other locals had the same problem.  Am I right on this SCCC?

When I worked ZS6Z I was shocked to get a "TU TIM".  Since I really
don't know any South Africans, I looked up the call and found that it must have
been Dick N6AA or Marty N6VI on their contest expedition! Tnx!
