The band conditions were the best ever.  Everything was open and signals were strong and clear.  I ran Q class from home this year and had a lot of fun.  I had company over Sunday so could only run about 10 hour.  I ran a homebrew transceiver on 80 that has no AGC.  Super station N0NI from Iowa just about blew my headphones off. Ha Ha

The antenna is my portable TA31M rotating dipole at 30ft which I put up just for the SS weekends.  Normally I use semi-stealth wire antennas to keep the neighbors oblivious.
