Comments:

Thunderstorms moved away from our immediate area just before the contest
started.  Started out using a TS590SG, but didn't like the AGC on phone. First
time in a phone contest with that rig.  After 6 QSOs on 15 and 106 QSOs on 20,
the tribander stopped working.  Reason not yet known.  Trying to find the
problem and then changing to an FT1000MP caused a lot of time off.  Then we
celebrated our son's 43rd birthday at his house and we were off about 2 1/2
hours for that.  Well worth it, though.  Heard no stations on 10M (and worked no
locals that I could move to 10).  15 was open only to TX, AZ, and TI, or so it
seemed.  40 stayed short a long time and that helped the QSO total on that band.
 80M was very noisey.  Tried on 160M about 0230Z and the QRN was so bad, I
didn't return to that band.  Thanks for all QSOs.  20 and 40M were poor to the
west coast.  Great to work my college roommate VP5/K4QPL from his QTH in TCI. 
73, John, K4BAI.
