Unless you're in NA and looking for DX. On this end it was like WAS contest for
me. I did manage to work all continents and a few ATNO. Surprisingly I missed
some sections in adjacent states, CA, NM and NV.
Strictly a S&P operation with a modest station; inverted-L with only (so far) a
dozen radials and 500W. No separate RX antennas; as I still hear better than I
get out. Biggest disappointment was calling and calling and calling the CQ
machine, JT1CO, with no luck (again). I work many other AS stations who are
weaker than he was so maybe he has a noise problem.

I had forgotten how good this contest was to work DX stations . . .
Unlike the CQ WW there were hardly any Europeans on, so much easier to hear
them without strong QRM !
Unfortunately I was at work til Midnight our time both nights AND had to be
up early in the morning, so couldn't stay on very long . . . but did manage
to work about 40 NA stations (despite signals being well down on normal)
