Comments:

My operating time started much earlier than I thought as our Saturday
afternoon plans moved to Sunday afternoon. As it turned out that was a good
thing due to the severe static crashes that ruined Saturday evening. When
conditions got to the point that I could not copy most of the stations
calling me, even when using beverage RX antennas on 40 - 160, I decided to
shut down. My last QSO was at 0402 UTC with less then 8 hours of op time.

Even with the earlier than expected stop time I was able to enjoy some
really incredible runs. With a high 1 minute of 360 and a best hour of 150,
both on 40 meters. SO2R proved to be both helpful and fun and forced me to
really focus and held my interest. That kept my BUTT IN THE CHAIR as SSB
contesting is not my favorite. 

In the end I was able to meet my original goal of turning in over 100,000
points for the club.

Next weekend back to CW.  Hope to get you in the log next weekend for CQWW
160 CW. Thanks for the Qs and MANY repeats.
