As usual a fun weekend, and I spent around 40 hours of it in the 
shack! Conditions quite reasonable, but 10m didn't really open and my 
low longwire seems to be diabolical on 80m....

Rig Elecraft K2, 5W. Antennas 110ft longwire and modified Butternut 
for 160m. Logging with SD and my old Toshiba dos only laptop.

The HF bands closed very early, especially yesterday, and there were 
minor geomagnetic disturbance. So I was really struggling at the end. 
Perhaps next year...
