I think I got 52 - it was a pretty casual effort.   I only worked about an hour last night and found the bands pretty flat when I got on this morning.   I resorted to FT8 since there wasn’t much on the higher bands on other modes.   CW was there - the bands  were covered with SKN participants and I had a good straight key ragchew with 9J2BO, who I remember from the 70’s.   I keep a straight key hooked up all the time and this time the Bencher was in the line.  That was on 10M and he was about the only one I could hear at the time.  

I hit the other end of the speed range because there was a CW Ops CWT going on.  Those are the guys who run 40+ WPM and send the crazy cut numbers.  I had to look up my CW Ops membership number and worked an HB9 who was in the test.   

I even got one I needed from a POTA activation.  I spent a lot of time looking for new ones on CW and SSB, but in the end, FT8 activity was predominant.  I enjoyed hearing all the SKN stations, though.   

It was a good activity and I had fun in the limited time I had to participate.
