I managed to work NQ4I on all six bands. I found Rick on 20m just 
before 0300z Friday. They had to send someone back to 10m to work me, 
since they'd already shut down. He sent me number 15. Worked 15m with 
ease, but then missed the jump to 40m.

Later found them on 80m, and went to 160m. Pretty easy.

40m was the hardest. My 40m sloper isn't working correctly. I also 
suspect when they were beaming EU or JA that high angles just weren't 
there. I could just barely hear them on Friday night.

I found them Sunday afternoon high in the 40m band working stations 
casually. Very loud.

I had wanted to go down to NQ4I for this contest, but my injured back 
plus all the Easter happenings made that impossible. I figured that 
giving them 6 points plus the AA4 mult was the least I could do.
