Comments:

Thought about going at this QRP...but after wasting the first 2 hours decided 
it would
not be as much fun for me this time. SO, made the switch to HP.  Then...in 
about
30 minutes the power goes out in the neighborhood(No, it wasn't the amp!) so 
I'm
off the air the rest of the night from midnight.  Played around Saturday most 
of
the day with just a few breaks here and there but called it quits pretty 
early in
the evening.  Sunday went well in the morning but had to take time off to go
with the family to the "Y" in the mid afternoon.  It was a lot of fun even 
though I only put in around 26 hours. 

Conditions seemed surprisingly good Saturday evening
especially into Asia/Pacific on 10 and 15m.  It was kind of up and down at 
times all weekend but overall can't complain.  Could have been much worse!
