I missed a chance in this one to do very well and there's no telling when 
that chance will come around again.  I had some intermittent line noise 
that bothered me on the low bands Friday and Saturday nights.  It was 
amazing how quiet both 160 and 80 were when the noise took a break, which 
wasn't often.  Fortunately, the high bands were not affected through 
Saturday.  Unfortunately, the noise messed up the high bands on 
Sunday.  The high band runs on Sunday morning were just not there because 
of the noise.  There was no way I could run stations on 10 because I 
couldn't hear the weak stations well enough to copy.  Bummer!  Now I've got 
to do the GA Power routine and hope they can (or will try to) find the 
trouble.  At least I have a year to work on it.  As an side note, I was 
able to copy better through the noise on my second radio an IC-765, than I 
could on my MP.  I even ran a few stations on the 765 on 10M but the noise 
was so bad that I was basically all S&P on the band.

Nice 20M EU sunrise opening on Saturday morning.  I had 3 hours at 2, 3 and 
4 a.m. of 78, 99 and 100 QSOs, respectively.

I wound up sleeping for 3 hours Saturday night from about 8 p.m. to 11 
p.m., and was surprised that I felt much better Sunday than I did 
Saturday.  I may write more later but I'm not hitting on all 8 cylinders 
yet.  (Or in my case, 4 cylinders/LP)

Anyway, here's the summary:

    BAND   Raw QSOs   Valid QSOs   Points   Countries
  ______________________________________________________

   160CW       15          15         45        12
    80CW       71          71        213        38
    40CW      214         212        636        58

    15CW      616         606       1818        72
    10CW      423         421       1263        72
  ______________________________________________________

  Totals     2104        2060       6180       317


     Final Score = 1959060 points.

73,
