Was going to just spend some time giving out points in this one.
Cold bug was taking a major toll on my body. Running the
keyboard, radio, coughing, sneezing, and blowing my nose was a
quite a challendge. Caught another bug though. The contest bug,
and away I went.
          
Not much activity on 80 meters here.  There might have been more
after I too a break at 06:30z, but signals seemed to be dropping
off up until this time. 10m was a little dead the first day,
but picked up some on Sunday. Good signals on 40,20, and 15.
However signals dropped like a rock on 20 and 15 shortly after
sunset. Conditions picked up for Europe Sunday morning. Europe
was much better here Sunday than the start on Saturday.

To all those who I met in the contest, hope you had as much 
fun as I did.  Thank you for the contacts. Hope I will see you
all in the next one.
