The computer says I operated 6 hours, but it seemed much
longer. Unless the wwv A-index has been less than 5 for
about a week, 160 and 80 don't open to EU or JA. Worked
all the club stations on the other bands, all S&P. CQing
doesn't work at this point in the sunspot cyle.
Seems from all the discussion that anyone's favorite
contest is the one they have a chance of winning. I guess
that makes sense. Good thing that the more dogmatic amongst
us don't live in the center of the country, because then
they probably wouldn't be contesting at all.

Equipment: IC765, Titan amp, 486-66 running CT 9.13
Antennas: 204BA at 50' and dipoles.
Conditions were quite good considering the solar flux level. Worked
P49V, HH2PK, JA3ZOH and KL7Y on 6 bands. Had HL5BVQ move me from
80 meters to 1801 for a solid qso there.
Thursday afternoon the local power company showed up with three
trucks and 8 men in response to my complaint about radio noise.
(I love Oregon.) They changed all the bells and bugs on two
poles and presto, the noise was gone!
