I can honestly say that condx for the first 8 hours or so were the
worst I've ever heard for DX. 20M was it, and stations which usually
make my s-meter light up as the pointer pins at full scale only wiggled
it a bit. Running 100W, it was harder than it usually is with QRP.
Around 4PM ET someone must have sprinkled pixie dust from the MIR, because
all of a sudden things came alive for us at latitude N45.
This was still a fun contest, but we need some solar help. Can't the Congress
do something about this?
