Comments:
Only ran for a few minutes to attract the NEBR station I heard answering CQs
so 98% 'point-and-click' focusing on multipliers.
Missed Alaska and D.C. in USA (never could hear KL7SB)
Missed VE1,8, VO2, VY1,0 in Canada
NO Europe worked Friday night until 0540z, then had a good 2 hours into EU.
Saturday Night, EU was strong from just Before my Sunset (2320z) for an hour
followed by weak signals until after 0500z with somewhat better signals but not
nearly as strong as the sunset opening or the Friday night opening.
