Comments:

Didn't mean to spend this much time, but it just happened. The conditions were
OK to NA but terrible to EU and Asia. I missed most of the possible EU openings
but still it was bleak. On Saturday night, I did stay for the EU times, but 
heard only very, very weak LX7I (he never heard me) and TM7M (he got me right
away). Missed RI and SD states and got most of the usual VEs but not MB and
rarer ones. No AK and only two KH6. 

Alternated between combing the band with S&P and CQing, then repeat over and
over.

Propagation was strange, with stations loud one evening, and weak another. All
in, the station worked well. Lots of fun, and lots of little GEs and GMs to
friends, etc. 

Ten most worked states: TX (35), PA (31), OH (29), VA (29), IL (26), AZ (26), CA
(26), and MD (23). One each for ND, DE, DC, and WY. 

Thanks for lots of low band fun. 

73, Jim N3BB
