This was a part-time effort, concentrating on 20m which as Don says, was 
a zoo. The shack is next to the bedroom so overnight phone operation is 
problematic, and I don't really feel as competitive from this station on 
phone compared with CW. Got up 5am Saturday and 6am Sunday, to catch the 
best of topband and 80m.

Highlight was working the Labrador mult on 20 - I think this is a first 
for me - but I missed Wyoming. 20m faded right out about 19:30 on 
Sunday, but came back strongly an hour or so later and I had some good 
runs, eventually killed by CS2C landing about 1kHz LF of me.

FT1000MP + Ten-Tec Centurion, 160m shunt fed tower, 80m delta loop, 40m 
four square, 20m 4el Uda up 72ft, 15m 4el Uda up 82ft. Wintest 3.24
