Comments:
Big disappointment to EU this year. Worked a few but never had so many keep
calling CQ with no QRM and not even a QRZ? Stayed up for both EU sunrises.
Beverages worked great, so great ears no voice! Still worked CE1/K7CA, HD2A,
KH6LC, so 90Watt sigs were getting out. Noticed spot-light propagation for
those ones as no else one calling at the time. Amazed I could work all kinds
of AZ, CA, NM, TX and not a chance with XE2S or XE2CQ, both with sigs just
above the noise all night and morning! Not a peep from JA here. Almost made
WAS, but never heard MT or ND and never found VE7 or VE1 running anywhere. Big
snow and wind storm caused lots of snow static, but the shack was nice and warm
so stayed there all Fri/Sat night so I wouldn't disappear in a snow drift
trying to get back to the house.
Still, lots of fun at times and many good ops. Rarely did I find a station
slow to give their call, which is great when going unassisted. Thanks for all
the Qs and good luck in CQ160SSB.
