Comments:
20m went long quickly, then suddenly got super short around 01z. Made the
second hour bouncing between 20 and 40. Was amazed at how good 80 was when I
got there at 02z. I noticed no one was getting answers to CQs on 40 in the
last hour. I sure tried a bunch with no luck.
80m sucks from here. I seemed to get beat out 2 out of every 3 times. Calling
CQ doesn't work. I only get an answer after a QSO. Although don't think 80 has
ever been my most productive band before.

Missed (and never heard):NV, UT, AL, AR, VT
Heard lots of VE7 in BCQP, but didn't make the effort to extract a QSO. So
missed that one too.
New noise source in the neighborhood to the West. S3 on 20m. Was on and off,
but did make some of the back scatter QSOs more difficult. I have been spoiled
by a super quiet location for 23 years. Each new house or house sale brings new
noise.
