    All S&P. Tried Running a couple times, but no calls after two 10-minute CQ stretches. The RBN showed my signal pretty weak around the world, so thanks for all the stations that picked me out of the noise.

    Strictly a lo-energy Jeb Bush type effort on the LO bands only.
    Highlights: working a QRP 5-watt JA on 40; working JT1CO (easy); got on 160 at midnight for an hour or so
    Sat/Sun and EU was coming thru gangbusters. Hope it (and I) holds up til next weekend for the CQ 160 Phone Contest. Great to see the fantastic score posted by Rick, KI1G, in the unlimited category. How does one stay up for 45 hours? 73 !

    We flew back from 17 days in India late THursday night and the weekend was mostly jet lag and having the family over to hear about it. I decided to just challenge my setup on 160 and it was great, I ran up the most DX q’s I ever had there. I just seemed to be getting heard, and it got me thinking about a beverage again and whether I was being an alligator when running. I actually did run on 160 with a wire in a tree, and got a few callers. I then put in a few hours at N1RR’s M/S effort on Sunday afternoon. Although it was played out, it was still cool to run on a 40m yagi.
    KI1G’s score is extraordinary. I had not seen it til John mentioned it. I had just grumbled to N1RR about having to compete against the 6 op N5DX team using a Maine RHR superstation. And Rick exceeded their score. 73, Dave K1SX
