Comments: Friday was slow, Saturday began around 9AM with South America and
Caribiean Islands.  Lots of LU.  Then around 10:30AM it opened to the north
then the west.  I had a good 1600Z hour of 98.  Then it slowed down through
the afternoon and my last was K6LL after 8PM local.  Listened off and on
until about 1AM, hearing nothing but K4OJ and WC4E plugging away.

Sunday began around 9AM but it was much slower ... Lots of LU again!  It was
mostly slow until about 3PM when conditions opened up again and I had
several decent hours (interupted by a few things unforunatly.)  Had ten
minute rates exceeding 200 at times.  

I got up at dawn both days to see if there were anything but I didn't hear
anything. :-(  

Since my CW filter doesn't work, I didn't do much CW.  I listened to a bunch
of people way past my ability sending endless CQ's without answer and not
slowing down occasionally.  Thanks to the few who slowed down when it got slow.

Its my best effort operating my home station in any contest.  Next up NAQP
... back to my G5RV :-(

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the
credit. --Harry S. Truman
