Comments:
Not the greatest condx. Even w/ high spots and Hi a/k, there was an opening to
Eu in both of the CQWW weekends, so had some hope. Noisy all weekend. First Eu
at 0405z. NOthing more until 0548, then a fairly regular stream for the next
hour and a half. Ended up w/ ~40 the first night, 34 of them British
Isles/DL/F/ON. Some reasonalbly strong signals. very little from the west
coast. Small burst at their sunset, then a few thru the evening. Never seen
condx to the west coast this bad. Got several folks scattered around the
Caribbean.
Had high hopes for the second night but it was painfully slow. Worked only 5 eu,
including SM, YL, UR and I for the furthest north, east and south European QSOs.
Go figure.
Missed AK/EWa/LAX/NL/SB/SCV/SK/TER/WTx/WWA/WY. Don't recall ever missing WA in
a contest before, but did take several hours off in the wee hours each night.
Thanks for the contacts!
