What could go wrong?

[Alex Fraser]

Lots of "D" and "E" stations.  I think I only heard 2 "A" class. 
Propagation was OK, but short.  There were a couple of times on 15m 
where I could hear all the stations in an exchange, which is not very 
common.  Fading and noise were up and down.  10m was open, but noisy and 
I didn't hear nothing on 6 meters.  I had fun....
