So who broke the 10 meter band? More so who is going to fix it and
when? (Better be someone good as the last one who worked on it didn't
do so good.......downright well..... unsatisfactory!)

I suspect most scores from this weekend may look more like the typical
number of band changes on a multi-band contest than total score.

So, where were you??

(I don't see K0HB in this list!)

The first five QSOs were pretty weak on scatter, but the other seven were
pretty loud. Decent (though weak) Es opening up your way.

Managed just shy of 400 QSOs.

Oh, and the DX wasn't completely missing either:

There was more DX (notably HP1WW and HK1KYR) that faded out before I could
work them.

I did however get a BUNCH of reading (and my Christmas cards) done during
the contest...
