Bob, N6TV, did a full-bore single-op effort at W7RN and the remote was
thus inop so I did about 3 hours on and off in the IARU from home with
K3/100 and my HOA-Stealth.** All CW, all search and pounce:
Band QSOs Pts ITU HQ
3.5 3 3 1 1
7 22 48 5 0
14 38 106 8 2
21 1 5 1 0
Total 64 162 15 3
Score : 2,916
QSO's included CE, OA, LU, KH6, PY, and ZF. I'd have done much better
on 80 except I fell asleep. Sunspots help of course but the bands were
still usable in June when the SSN was exactly zero for most of the month.

**"HOA-Stealth" is an 80-10 EFHW strung on electric fence insulators
along the top of our wooden fence at about 1.8 meters AGL.

Kevin is absolutely correct. With wire antennas running QRP in the IARU
contest, I logged:
4 QSOs on 160M
7 QSOs on 80M
11 QSOs on 40M
37 QSOs on 20M
2 QSOs on 15M
These scores aren't going to win any contest, but they do show the bands
are open and I certainly had fun. I will note that one of the 15M
contacts was with ZW0HQ. Other bands included contacts with Alaska,
Hawaii, Japan, and Ontario, so it wasn't just local stations.
