Comments:

Condx seemed very poor, particularly Friday night at the start. Then the solar
storm struck, and condx got even worse. But they began coming back Saturday, and
during an hour or so around 01Z, were almost good, with the east coast booming
in from all over. Never heard Europe or Africa and couldn't copy the easterners
well enough to tell whether they were working Eu/Af, but it didn't sound like
it. Worked a few JAs but didn't hear more than about half a dozen altogether.

I could not believe how many people had trouble copying my section of ORG...
seemed like every other Q required multiple fills of either my call or section.

Ran my trailer's battery bank State-Of-Charge down to 13% by sun-up Sunday
morning. It was down to 22% by sun-up on Saturday and with the low winter sun
angle, only recharged during the daytime to about 74%. Need to get the remaining
20 solar panels up and running, so I can run the amps from 240VAC and 8
batteries.
