Notes: Setup in the rain, tore down and packed up in the rain and dark. Hit a rock on the way down the hill. Everything seemed fine until I got on the road and hit 30mph when a scary and expensive noise came from the right front wheel. Limped home at 25mph in the rain and dark. $1000 repair bill, and a ticked-off girlfriend.

At least there was some good E-Skip. 2 new entries in my top 10 all time Dx (K5QE EM31cj 2198.4km, N5HMH EM32xn 1988.3km), 3 new states (LA N5HMH, MI WZ8T, TX K5QE), new 6m best Dx (K5QE EM31cj 2198.4km, plus four more in my 6m top 10), 6 new 6m grids (EL88, El97, EM31, EM32, EM85, and EN72), and a new 70cm grid (FN41).
