 Comments:

 Interesting propagation. Overall I would rate conditions a C-. 40
meters was noisy both nights. My lowest country count in years. 10-20
the first day were not good. Sunday started slow but picked up as 10
meters got quiet and went at least to Western Europe. The ending hours
were pretty good. With three hours to go I had 800,000 points and
decided to try to make 1 million. I made it with a few points to
spare. 

I put up a very low 80 meter dipole so I could work KH6J on
 5 bands. It worked much better than expected. Normally I dont usually
work many SA stations but they were easily workable on most bands. I
did take my senior citizen breaks both nights.
