Highlights
==========
80m
---
The frosting on the cake was working CU2M (Azores, 3200+ mi) which was
topped off with a cherry from G0IVZ (England, 4178 mi). Thanks, guys!
(This is a big deal for my NVIS stealth antenna and QRP.)
Sunday morning I heard KL1V running QRPp (1 watt)! Too bad he was not
able to copy my 5-watt sig. (He was working stns in my area with no
problem.)
20m
---
Busting a KL7WV pile-up (Alaska), with special thanks to Op W3YQ for
MAKING the pile-up QRX (had to do it 3 times!) until we completed our
exchange.
I found KL7FH 14 kHz higher 37 minutes later, also on 20m, with no
pile-up. I went back to KL7WV and he still had a pile-up. Go figure.
15m
---
EA8ASJ, Canary Island, for my only Africa continent QSO. (202017z)
Great Ears!
-----------
KH7X, Hawaii, for hearing me consistently in his pile-ups on four bands
