Things are terrible as I can get about one Q per hour. Some years ago I
did WAS in 3.5 hours on 160. Just not possible this weekend to even get
to Florida.

This may go down as my worst score for this contest. I never heard
anyone loud enough to call and so far zero Q's. Last week we worked
east coast in the ARRL so it's just poor conditions. I guess the folks
not in the contest that we all work for a good score tune around and
need to hear loud easy to work stations calling CQ. This is probably
a downward spiral. They quit, so we quit calling.
But it's early yet, another night cycle at 0600z starts for me. SSB is
not the best choice for contesting on topband even on a good night.
I agree about the condition of the bands. I thought I would pick up
Colorado for 160M WAS. I did not find anyone from CO., let alone much
DX. CME's have taken their toll.
Arrrrrggh!
