Sig, N3RS and I operated his station using my callsign in the WAE CW
contest. The following results should be good enough for #2 in the
M/S category, since K1EA (using KC1XX) was also M/S:

The K-Index was 1 throughout the contest period, producing very good
openings on 20 and 15. We had a very short, very marginal opening on
10 Saturday morning, and worked 3 mults. That opening didn't
materialize Sunday, but rather we had a bent path (120 degree
heading) opening at about 20z. A 15 minute session calling CQ and
some multiplier hunting resulted in a total of 16 countries. As
sunspots dwindle, we plan a W3LPL-style "death ray" on 10 at 155 feet
to exploit these marginal openings to the southeast.
The new 3 element 40 played very well, with its impressive F/B
resulting in the only QRM we had to contend with being from Europe!
80 remains our most frustrating band, as we listen to the New England
stations calling CQ, getting answers we can hear, but can't generate
our own pileup. Perhaps it's time to try a four-square!
I'd be interested in other scores and impressions.

PS- Thanks to AD1C for compiling a seemingly flawless (for Eu at
least) CQWW.CTY file, which he posted to the reflector, and we used
in the contest.
