Comments:

Had "Space Weather" up on a separate monitor given solar condition, but
never expected an M1 class flare 5 minutes after the start.  Upper bands
went nearly dead by 1820Z with that nice "rolling ocean" sound, and I
considered taking an hour off starting in the first hour - that would
have been a mistake.  Anyway, you could hear it fade away by 1930Z, so
back to plan A for off times.  
There are still no decent 10 and 15 antennas here, and with LP I can't
push
through poor conditions.  Will somebody PLEASE add a HP category to the
August NAQP?  Based on signal strengths of known stations, a lot of the
guys have their amps on as it is.  The playing field will be a lot more
level if we make it legal. 

This contest is always fun.  I tied or beat my prior August scores on
most
bands, except for 10/15.  80 and 160 QRN were down for an hour or two
but came back up for the last two hours.  CU in the next one...N4GG
