Conditions on both Friday and Saturday nights
very noisy on low bands lots of static crashes and 
signal  levels from Eu very suppressed.
Easter weekend seemed to have had an effect on level
of activity from Europe at beginning of Test.
15 meters a bust not one European in log from here
however could hear Caribbean and South America
working lots of Europe. Africa working lots of Europe
also.
Lost 20 meter monobander just after ARRL DX test in 
wind storm and all wire antennas at same time. Managed
 to get back with a single wire loop for 20 , very humbling 
experience, however one advantage ? was able to work
both sides no rotating hi!
Figured I would set goal of at least 1000 Qs and get my
sleep and quality family  time in. Managed both.
CT log says 21 hrs operating - was about right.

Thought sun spots were on way - maybe next fall.
