Re: [CQ-Contest] SSB Sprint was AWESOME !

[Joe <nss@mwt.net>]

I agree with Mike this was a blast.

I also agree, Maybe a little earlier in the day? 40 Meters at 00:00Z is 
already long here, Was already hearing CA and everywhere else at that 
time. And close in were weak and few.  I suppose I could have started on 
80? but doubt many Q's would be there at the start.
