Comments:
A bit of a slog, this one. Propagation was so-so, but 10m and 15m did have some
gold to mine. 160m was full of local and distant QRN. The local stuff is
getting to be unsettling these days, especially when it is located along the NE
path to EU. 80, 40, and 20 were the money bands, and transequitorial
propagation was a saving grace at the end of the contest by upping Q count from
SA. It was also good to hear some Caribbean stations make a comeback.
Thanks to all who answered me -- almost all search and pounce. And thanks for
all of you maintaining grace under fire (and virus).
Stay healthy all,
Rick
