Highlights
==========

80m
---

The frosting on the cake was working CU2M (Azores, 3200+ mi) which was
topped off with a cherry from G0IVZ (England, 4178 mi). Thanks, guys!
(This is a big deal for my NVIS stealth antenna and QRP.)

Sunday morning I heard KL1V running QRPp (1 watt)! Too bad he was not
able to copy my 5-watt sig. (He was working stns in my area with no
problem.)

20m
---

Busting a KL7WV pile-up (Alaska), with special thanks to Op W3YQ for
MAKING the pile-up QRX (had to do it 3 times!) until we completed our
exchange.

I found KL7FH 14 kHz higher 37 minutes later, also on 20m, with no
pile-up. I went back to KL7WV and he still had a pile-up. Go figure.

15m
---

EA8ASJ, Canary Island, for my only Africa continent QSO. (202017z)

Great Ears!
-----------

KH7X, Hawaii, for hearing me consistently in his pile-ups on four bands
(40-10m).


5-bander (80-10m)
=================
PJ2T, PJ4R, V47Z


4-bander (80-10M)
=================
9Y4W, HI3TEJ, KH7X, P49Y, V31DJ, V31TP, VP9/W6PH, WP2Z, ZF2TJ
