I worked 20 meters out. As suspected it died after sunset. Time on the air was 7.5 hours with a couple of soda and bathroom breaks. 98% of the contacts was RUNNING. I started on 10 meters with one contact then a a few search and pounce then ran there until 1930 UTC until I said to myself let me go play on 20 with the Big Boys. I searched and pounced until about 1945 UTC until I found a home on 14104 for most the rest of the contest where I has some pretty good runs. I even got called by three DX and three AK stations. Conditions were not bad. I would have liked to see better conditions on 10 and 15 meters but we were having some solar issues, the bands have been lousy all day so I did not expect much from anything other than 20. I actually modified some of the "F" keys while running as I discovered things that worked a little better. Anyone wants to see my .mc file let me know and I'll email it to you.

All in all a fun few hours and it will be interesting to see what new Digital Counties show up on LBOTW, I have over 1700 Digital counties worked almost 56% of them all toward the MARC Digital Award.

Thanks to Paul and Rob who stopped by to visit on frequency and break the day up.

Hope you all got some chair time in.
