    REMARKS:I had read in 3830 remarks on propagation given by DL1IAO and
felt gelous:Germany is only c.a.1000 km north west of Lithuania and such a
tremndous difference!My antenna is slightly better than DL1IAO but what a
disadvantage in my case...
   First day I could work only 2 JA's:JA5OVU and BJC.All the rest of the
day moderate rate was kept just with help of lots of DL's and other
EU's,luckly short skeep was phantastic.I was waiting for USA opening but
only 4 were worked first evening and no more heard:VE1JX,N2RM,N4PN,KS1L
.Congrats ,guys!
  Next morning was somehow promising,as Ja's were louder and even runing
was possible for a while.But fun was short ,no shortskeep within the day
and just a number of Italians and EA's ramained on the band.
   Usa opening started in regular manner and even half an hour run enjoyed
me .
But thats it.Even big guns sigals dropped down sharply soon and all band
sloped quickly. The contest was over for me...
  Comparision of  big USA gun sigs: 1.K1AR , W3LPL AND N2RM equally booming
                                                     2.K5ZD ,KS1L,W1YK
second top guys grade
    Totally worked 134 JA's and 86 K+VE.                                   
           
 Zone 4 only K8 AZ was worked,few more heard.No zone 3 at all.
  Such a sad story here, so a will join gladly to W9 black hole club.

  Mayby CW will be better.
 73! Ted,LY2OX
