    The day didn't go as well as expected.
    My powerline interference was back Sunday morning
    before the crack of dawn and is still rockin at S-9+
    at 2200 hours.

    Ended up with:

    cw 106 q's 53 mult
    ph 81 q's 50 mult

    60,358

    Not anywhere NEAR what I had hoped for, but trying
    to hear thru an S-9+ noise floor is virtually impossible.

    Your antenna broke?

    I couldn't swing a cat without hitting a dozen or more - everywhere I went.

    Didn't work any due to some household projects but the receivers were on the entire time.

    That's not bad.

    I had 150 Q's, about 53 mults, all CW. Only could put in a part-time effort, the weekend had some strange things going on...

    It was interesting how many MT, ID and WY stations were on... I worked multiples in those states, already have a couple confirmed in LoTW.

    Only 152 Q's, 55 multis, all SSB. Strange, about half were DX, about half states.

    What would have been nice is for some autumn Es to set up. Didn't hear anything indicative of an E opening here - most was single and double-hop F.
