In the afternoon we always try spend some time on 40 and 20m from each
county. But it's a numbers game, Jim. And I know you're aware of this.
Around 23z, 80m begins to come alive for the mobiles here, especially in
Eastern TN. Also around that time the skip on 20m gets very long. There
are a lot of unanswered CQ's and it just cannot support the activity to
compare with 40 or 80m. And in a short contest like this, rate is key.
Thank you for the many QSO's yesterday, wish it could have been even more.

It's not much fun when one of the two mobiles abandons 20M hours before the
band closes and doesn't show up on 20 in several counties before that. I
gave up around 23Z, and won't bother to submit a log.
