Comments: Just a casual op from the shack trailer in the driveway and the little tribander at 35 feet. VE8DW dropped by and worked a few so entered as M/S.

Conditions were generally good all weekend. 20m was open late and I had a nice little run on Saturday night into Western Asia and the Middle East at their sunrise. Clicked on a 40m spot by accident and Europe was booming in but didn't have any low-band antennas set up. I would have bet money on a 15m opening but not a peep all weekend.

It probably would have been a good weekend to set up at the contest site but doing the 'Field Day' thing in the winter is starting to get old. We'll be raising the permanent antenna farm as soon as the snow is gone. As usual, the long winded write up is at http://ve8ev.blogspot.com

Thanks to everyone that managed to pull me out of the QRM.

Look for us next weekend from NA-192 Ellice Island as VX8X.
