Comments:
Nothing worked on 15m - though there were a couple of weak traces.
20m was booming, I ran and jumped like crazy to get Qs while the
getting was good. Eventually people left to 40m and I followed the
crowd. Progress cam to a screeching halt on 40m as I could barely
decode anyone, even with dual decoders (MMTTY and 2Tone). I
struggled along, missing lots of Qs. I finally figured out that the
Noise Blanker was on (Flex saves the settings by band) so when I
switched to 40m I suddenly had a NB on that was blanking your
fine RTTY signals. Turned it off and I could copy again! Made a
few QSOs and then made the strategic error to go to 80m to see if
I could pickup a Mult. Just weak traces, AJ6V finally decoded, but
no Qs made on 80m.
