Well, no flares recently.  There is some potential for them.

Good to know your strategy on S and P.

Twenty has been short lately.  Ten has been good and may be more of a factor
than in several years.  Fifteen was still open to the West Coast and the
Pacific tonight at 9 p.m.

For those with two meters, the consensus frequency statewide is 146.55, not
146.49.  You might want to make a note of it.

When I hit a new county, my order will be, *usually*: 40cw, 40 ssb, 20 cw,
20ssb, 10 ssb, 15cw, 15 ssb, 10 cw.  After dark, I'll go 80 cw, 40 cw, 20cw,
40 ssb.  40 ssb is rough sledding after dark from a /m....

I've resolved to do a better job of S and P this year.  I missed WAY too
many counties last year, including most of the ones Danny covered.  Listen
up, Dan...I'll be calling... :)


40 hours to go....
