Notes:

Pretty decent conditions on 20-10m , with 15 and 10m being bigger surprises 
that they were open as good as they were!  Had a decent European run both 
Saturday and Sunday morning, and 3 short openings on 15m to Japan in the late 
afternoon/ evening on Friday, Sat and Sunday, lasting about 1.5 hours each with 
weak signals.  All in all, conditions are on the upswing

Worked a half dozen or so stations on 6 bands, which is a real good time!  
Thanks for all those Q's

40-160 were real bad due to QRN from thunderstorms, not good enough conditions 
there to work many stations.

Thanks to Ed and Edith for use of their station, it performed real good! 

73, Todd
WD0T
