Wow...  The worst condx I have ever seen on 160 in the WPX SSB. I was going to
put up a balloon vertical but the forcast didn't look good so I decided not to.
That was the only thing that went as planned for the weekend because we had
windy condx Saturday. 

Friday night the QRN was 20 to 30 over 9 on the vertical and S9 on all of the
beverages. Even the loops were S5 to S7 so I was pretty much deaf most of the
time. Everyone I did work also complained about the noise. It was really
something. I gave up and went to bed around 4 am Saturday. I got on HF for a
few hours on Saturday and Sunday afternoon while waiting for propagation to
open on 160 and worked a few stations as follows:

 BAND     QSO   QSO PTS  PTS/Q PREFIXES
       80       10       34   3.4        4
       40       14       66   4.7        6
       20      102      251   2.5       78
       15       40      103   2.6       34
       10        0        0   0.0        0
     --------------------------------------


Sunday morning around 0200z the band finally started to settle and I managed to
work Europe, Africa and South America. I didn't get half of what I had last year
score wise. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the world made out.
I'm sure they didn't have the QRN in Europe we had here. As I type this the
storm front that caused me all the grief all week end is now here and I can
hear thunder outside..... Oh well it was a heck of a training / learning  
experience if nothing else.
