Comments:

I only operated 3 hours Friday night, and 5 hours Saturday morning/early
afternoon, and had to work on Sunday. Not really "into" this one, as
crowded SSB contests involving DX (especially Europe) exposes the
inefficiencies of a screwdriver antenna...frustrating trying to achieve any
kind of rates through all the SSB QRM. On Saturday, there was a good opening
into Eu on 15 meters, and it seemed everyone abandoned 20 and 10M to crowd onto
15M...creating wall-to-wall mayhem throughout the entire phone band...stations
on top of, or a few HZ adjacent to, each other. Haven't seen it quite like that
in a while.

I decided to go unassisted this time, and do some old-fashioned dial-spinning
S&P for a change. Had a couple of small (NA) runs on 20 and 15M while they
weren't too crowded, but couldn't find any open frequencies on 15M. 

Looking forward to the CW portion in May, before the screwdriver antenna comes
down for the monsoon season. Thanks for the Q's.

73,  Bob K7JQ
