Art et al:
I had the same experience during the peaks of the high band openings to EU on
both days. Nothing serves as a rate-killer like a bunch of stations all calling
on the same frequency over and over. I have never experienced operating
practice that bad in 30 years of contesting. Contrasted with the JA’s and to be
fair, most other areas, it’s like night and day.
