> This one was a bit of slog at times since it was all S&P for me.  I started
> out not very motivated.  Had a conflict Friday evening, so I didn't get started
> till Saturday morning.  Things were going reasonably well until my computer UPS
> decided to shutdown.  After the 2nd time I removed it.  40M was pretty good for
> me Saturday evening.  I probably hung out on 20M too long.  But, I tend to do
> better with my wires on 20M as the band fades. Less competition for the
> remaining mults.  Went to 80M and then down to 160M to pick up a few the easy NA
> mults.  Heard others working Europe.  But, I couldn't hear them with my Inv-L. 
> Closed out on 80M about 3am Sunday morning as I was falling asleep at the
> keyboard.  Lot's of static crashes for me on 80M made for some difficult copy at
> times.  Got going again around 10am Sunday morning bouncing back and forth
> between 15M and 20M as signals appeared on the band scope.  Things were moving
> along reasonably well.  I almost quit when I took a lunch break because I was
> feeling tired.  Had around 350 Q's at that point. Decided I should push to get
> 400.  When I hit 400 things were going well, so I said 450 would be a good
> number.  Well, it turned out that 500 looked to be in reach.  So, I kept going
> and notched #500 with 15 minutes to spare and padded with a few more.  Highlight
> was working Somoa on 40M, then a good run of JA's Sunday late afternoon on 20M.

> As usual thanks to all for the Q's.
