Comments:
I found similar conditions as reported by Jeff VY2ZM. First two hours were great
and then the bottom fell out. Only 25 Q's at 0000, the 3rd hour of the contest,
a new low! But, the rates shot right back up and were bolstered by very quiet
conditions. Unfortunately, it was all short hop stuff the first night. No Europe
at all. Finally, in the wee hours I managed to leak some signal out west and
even picked up some stations in KH6.
The second night had more "normal" 160M conditions, with an assortment of
Europeans and West Coast stations checking in. All in all, it was slightly
better than average conditions. I managed to get within 6 Q's and 1 mult of last
year's total.
With a low dipole, I'm happy to work anything a continent away!
