I lost my 2m receive side, probably a blown front end, so I was deaf on that band.  Only 42 Q's and 10 grids on that band as I struggled just to hear even the loud stations.  On 10 GHz's, 17 fun Q's were made from W0GHZ, K0AWU, AC0RA/R, W9FZ/R, and KA9VVQ/R.  Bill and I made a nice 10G RS contact late on Sunday afternoon from the black hole of EN24.   As Paul mentioned, "local" uW conditions were great with some really loud signals on 902, 1296, 2304 and 3456.  From a roving perspective, 222, 432 and 902 are great bands -- if you are looking for a band to expand on to try something new, add one of these.  I didn't spend a lot of time of 6m, but every 20 minutes or so I would sweep the band, SSB and CW.  My new Comet CA-52HB two element 6m HB9CV yagi works well for what it is.  

I apologize to anyone who may have heard me on 2m and was calling me, I just could not hear.

Thanks for all the Q's
