Comments:

I operated portable from a hilltop. I ran mostly 10 watts or less; I had an
amp
for 432 but it had problems.

Conditions not great on 222 and 432 but seemed to get better the higher in
band. 3456 and 5760 saw really good conditions. There seemed to be fewer
stations on this year than there were last year; I don't know where they all
were. My score was slightly down from last year but I made more microwave
QSO's.

Special thanks to Jim W9SNR/R for working me from four of his grids; we
worked thru 10 GHz for three of them and thru 3456 for one. Jim was shooting
over the top of a building in that one and we couldn't go any higher than
3456.

Also worked W9ZIH, and on microwave bands. I was surprised after just
working W9SNR on Sunday on 10 GHz by being called by K3SIW on 10G. That
doesn't happen too often.

Weather wasn't too bad, the thunderstorms in the area missed me and I had
fun.
