Hey, look, it's a DX contest again! Best DX conditions since 2002, if not
earlier. Still, it can get even better as we get closer to the cycle peak --
the openings will start up a little earlier and shut down a little later.
On the flip side, short skip (Es) was darn near nonexistant. I caught a weak
opening to the Plains/Rockies in the first couple hours, and one to W8/VE3/WNY
right near the end. In particular, apart from scatter, I had no propagation to
the mid-Atlantic area which in other years is a big source of QSO points from
here. Missed NC, DE, DC and MO. There was no short skip to the southwest
either; I only worked four Mexican states, all out west.
All in all, great fun... maybe a better antenna next year. 73,
-- Ray WQ5L
