Most notable DX were via tropo =  N8JH - EN63 , several others in EN61 , N0LL - EM09 , KF0M - EM17 , WQ0P - EM19 and KB0ZOM/R - EN00 .... 
Via EME were = W7OJT -  DM24 , K5LA - DM61  , KD7UO - CN87 , and JF3MKC - PM74 .
It was really cool to see Charlie's EME and tropo sigs when I first started to get on the setting moon Sunday . I wished the tropo would have held out on Sunday evening as I had a partial QSO with a W5 from Oklahoma, but lost him in the QSB .

( no meteor scatter QSOS as I had multiple PC issues with MSK144 ONLY !!  But I sure heard ALOT of scatter on 2 meters )

Comments:

Well , this is one for the record books !! I had the most enjoyable September
contest since I have been operating out at the farm . Condx were above average
as well as local participation was up . High lights were working 4 off the
setting moon with the tropo antenna and having 2m open up into the south during
Saturday and Sunday evenings !!! Low points were having a primary desktop system
complete failure as well as primary laptop failure only on MSK144 (FT8 performed
flawlessly on same laptop - go figure ! ) I was able to have eyeball QSO with
AC0RA/R which got me at the farm QTH late ( 2200z or so ) . Thanks to all the
locals and especially to the rovers who 'braved' the excellent Minnesota weather
!! For me up here in Gods country , it really doesn't get much better !!  Ron
