Comments:
A and K indexes were low, so I decided to go the station to test new 2 x 310 m
Beverage to USA - path was skewed during all CQWW CW, to try to catch A22 on
TB
and VU7 on 80, to try to work last 4 states for WAS and to do a little
contesting.
First QSO was with VY2ZM at 2121 UTC, followed with W2GD a minute latter, then
I found A22/JA4ATV on 1812 - #201 for me, made few JA QSOs on their SR, tried
to get through to VU7 on 80 - no luck.
Back to 160 - east coast loud and good ears - 12 QSO per 25 mins, then back
to 80 for VU7 - 20 mins and I am in log for all band new one.
Next 2 1/2 run hours with 20 min S&P stop gave me 119 QSOs - rate was really
good with 3-4 stations calling, not easy to copy under heavy QSB.
Band suddennly closed at 0140. Added just few extra QSOs with very weak signals
during next 2 hours and I gave up waiting for morning opening - I left station
3 hours before Sunrise, but from the others comments I see I missed nothing.
Results are reached, new antenna shined, very impressive run, but I still
need LA, KS, ID and HI - band closed before their evening basically.
Most active sections - VA- 17, NC - 14, EPA - 13, CT -8.
