Comments:

What great conditions - 10 meters was a dream, sometimes open to almost all
continents simultaneously and full of activity all the way to 29.0 mHz!  I
wound up spending most of my time there but that was also because the crowding
on 20m was atrocious and even 15m was so full at times it was just a wall of
noise.  In fact, I ran 6 dB of attenuation on 10 and 15m, and 12 db on 20m,
just to counter the noise.  I had high levels of QRN on all bands a lot of the
time, too.  Hope it was better where you were.  

All in all, it was really tough going on 15-20-40 for my pipsqueak QRP signal
and wires in the trees, but I still had a blast.   Thanks to everyone who stuck
with me until they had my call and exchange right.  There were times, though,
when I could tell I was just as loud as anyone else.  Gotta love that!
73 & best rx to all, and see you in the next one!  - Tim, KT8K
