Comments:
Just managed to put in a few hours Friday night, some Saturday  
morning and evening and Sunday afternoon. Couldn't operate the whole  
contest because I was getting ready for vacation on St. George  
Island, FL.

Almost did a SB20 effort, but decided to work some 40m on Saturday  
evening.

Conditions appeared to be very unusual. Good EU signals on 20m Friday  
night, but not so strong on Saturday morning. Then the weird stuff --  
heard JF1PJK calling CQ at 1200z on Saturday morning. Worked him  
easily, then thought I must have been hallucinating. JA in the  
morning on 20m? Within the next 30 minutes, worked three more JAs.

Finished up by working to break the pileup on S9SS. Tremendous signal  
here in GA at 2000z on 15m. Took about ten minutes to break the  
pileup. Operating on the other end must have heard a nearly  
continuous buzz from all the stations calling.
