Comments:

Yikes! I just arrived up here in WA from CA, and:

- the computer was mis-behaving (hard disk needs 
a thump to get spinning),

- the keyer was dead (replaced it), and 

- there was S8 noise on every band (usual for 80m,
but unusual for 20m and 40m).

But I forged ahead for a personal did-it-anyway-though-
not-a-personal-best. Missed some guys due to the noise,
sorry. Heard some big numbers, so people were having fun.

20m was good for 20 QSOs in 16 minutes, but when I had 3 blank 
minutes I moved to 40m.

40m was 15 QSOs in 11 minutes, and the mults were flowing - 14 Mults!
Really fun to work K0IO in IA, and K3STx in MD.  But couldn't get either 
ORegon to notice me. Heard the KG4 also, but out of sync.

80m was good for 2 x 2 in the last minute.

Thanks to the mults, my score was pretty good.
If I can solve the hardware problems and the noise, look out!
