Comments:
Friday night was painful. An odd winter lightning storm had just passed through
before I started. The rest of the evening the noise level was S8-9 with
continuous 30db over static crashes every half second. Copying calls was one
letter at a time with many repeats. I can't remember when hearing was this
difficult. My apologies to the calling stations with thanks for the patience.
For a nice change Saturday night it quieted down a bit.
Never heard NV, OR, MT and UT. I also missed several VE sections. DX was
copyable, but it seemed many CQn local stations were parked on top of the
strong CQn EUs, so generally not workable. The bands were pretty full both
evenings with stations every 3 KC from both band ends. Of course I had to avoid
interference to the the plasma TV primary allocations and other man made noise.
Sorry I missed you all in the CQ 160M CW.
73, John, W1AN
