Comments:
Casual S&P as I did chores and hosted a dinner party. Got "serious"
after guests left but nothing was working except 80. Managed to run for the
last hour of the contest and more than double my score. High point was pulling
an Oregon QSO out on 80 before other station's crowding raised the noise
level. Chuckle of the day was getting multiple "big signal" reports on 80
from Quebec.
