Comments:
Just poked around on 20, when I had time between "honey-do" projects. Conditions
were very poor on Saturday but a bit better on Sunday. CQing proved fruitless
(only 1 Q) so virtually all were S&P. Was surprised by an S9+ contact w/Kuwait.
Some 100w sigs were huge here and some KWs were in the noise. At times it seemed
my antennas were busted! Then - boom - I'd get a "big signal" report from some
far away place. Worked most of what I could hear, but with power line hash from
the NE and OTH radar from the SE, copying weak signals was a challenge. Add QRM,
QSB, excessive processing, and heavy accents and I was reminded why I love CW!
Still, had a good time. Thanks for the Qs!
