Notes:

80 - Thought we had 100 countries on 80m until I used the most recent 
cty.dat file and we dropped to 'just' 99 on 80m.

20 - It was pretty easy to work new zones until we only had one left.  Never
heard zone 23 although a couple of mid-west and western USA stations were
heard working a JT1.  Nice JA openings.

15 - Things started out poorly when we tuned up on 15m about 2330Z and
something on the top 15m beam failed, leaving only one 5L @ 57' to work 
with. During a nighttime 'spacewalk' up the tower about 0200Z KM1P checked 
out the coax and couldn't find any obvious problems.

After the rains ended Saturday afternoon he checked things up to the top of
the tower and still found nothing to repair.  Looks like we lost a coax
connector, balun or something at the feedpoint (the top 5L 15m beam is 10'
above the top of the tower with no way to reach it without pulling the
rotator and dropping the mast).  Everyone was blowing us away on 15m during
the early openings both days when high antennas played the best.

10 - With disturbed conditions it was a real surprise to have a couple of
brief European openings, and the mid-afternoon opening on Sunday was good 
for a dozen European mults.

No other serious hardware or software problems this time.  We'll have to 
find a few more voice keyers for the next serious SSB effort!  This was our 
best CQWW SSB effort yet.  Now for some 15m beam repairs before the CW 
weekend...
