Comments:
Started about 0130Z. The strategic quick check of 20M for easy mult's indicated
it was marginally open to... NU5A.
Then down to 40M for a while, until zipping up to 10M for the scheduled local
late session -- 2 QSOs for 2 mult's, and one of them moved to 15M, too.
I don't need to add to all the comments about noisy bands and poor condx and
QSB. Another experience of poor SSB copying skills. When running, I told
several stations "Sorry, I'm not good enough to pull you out." And I
heard other callers where I could not even get that far. I was feeling like an
alligator and considered not calling CQ. But then things got better on 75M for
a while, and I had a short run.
Around 05Z I couldn't find any audible new stations, so I QRT.
