" b) For MN,KS,NE,CO, northern WI, Dakotas - 20 meters during the day
and 40 meters at night. Maybe 15 meters if the band is open."
Remove "MN" from that statement and it may be true. Everyone else on that list
is either south and/or west of us and has significantly better propagation that
we ever see. If you ever sat here and listened to the guys in the Dakotas on 20
meters running east coast stations we can't hear, or how you can call CQ on 40
meters after 0100Z until your arm falls off without an answer, then you'd know
what I mean.
For the record, I don't really see any "tweaks" to CW SS that would improve the
over all activity levels. This Reflector has had many posts over the years
commenting on the checks recorded during the contest, and the realitve lack of
young blood. It's finally catching up to us.
