Band by band comments:
160--A decent showing from Ohio for Top Band. Saturday was the most
productive night, but Sunday appeared to have the most potential. Too ba=
d we
ran out of contest before we could find out.
80-- Horrible conditions first night with high QRN. "Robert-tail"
vertical array seemed to outperform 2-L yagi on Friday. More normal
conditions on Saturday, but lack of activity hurt.
40-- No replay of terrific conditions from 95 ARRL on this band.
Things very average except for decent JA opening on Sunday morning.
20-- With present solar numbers, there is no meters like 20 meters=
in
Ohio. W8KIC just kept pounding on the band until it submitted and gave up=
=2E
Gratified to be reasonably close to K3LR after a slow start on Saturday.
15-- Traditionally our money band, but not with these conditions. =
Only
about 70 QSO's by 1600z on Sunday. Band opened to EU and heard many loud=
sigs direct. Too bad many folks stayed on 20 this could have been a big b=
oost
for us.
10-- How much worse can things get?? Thought conditions were bad i=
n
'77, but we now have new 10m lousy conditons stories to tell the
Grandchildren. Only 2 Q's on the first day and a whopping 10 on Sunday.
Happy to bring ZK1WTS up from 15 for only PAC. Suprised at how loud VP9M=
Z
was.
Hope to have better conditions in two weeks for SSB. Special than=

to Tom, K8AZ for use of the great station and his legendary hospitality(h=

feeds us all weekend plus has great Scotch afterwards). Also big TNX to =
WT8C
who makes the best Omlets in the contest world to keep us going on Sunday=

For the Crew at AZ,
