Comments:

Had big runs the first few hours and thought that perhaps this was the year I
might break the magic 2000 QSO level from the NE. Alas, it was not to be. My
old standby, 80 meters got weird at 0400Z with a lot of phase distortion and
short skip going away. That corrected itself in time, but then the band
promptly ran out of gas at 0800 and I had to reconfigure my off times. Sunday
started out OK for a few hours, but then at high noon, the rates collapsed on
20 meters and 15 was even worse. For 3 hours I scratched and clawed out some
awful rates until things came back later in the afternoon. Maybe I was getting
boycotted! I was able to produce just a average score based on my results over
the last few years. 

Mults were easy to come by. Heck, there were more stations on from NT than from
VT. This was a lot better result than the CW bash 2 weeks ago when I could not
even hear NT or AK from here. 

Wish list:
-Big, butt kicking yagi on 40 meters - I get no respect on that band!
-High, high yagi for 20m when the skip goes long
We can dream, can't we?

Until then, I'll live with my tribander and dipoles at 50' and my trusty 900
watts.
-Mitch
