Hi Milt---- I think one reason you didn't hear many CW sigs last night and
probably tonight is because a lot of us stayed off the band so as to not QRM
the SSB DX ops xmiting down there in the contest. There was a lot of
activity from dx in the contest and you can think the gentlemans band cw
ops for not QRMing them so the contesters with propagation and sufficient
stations could attempt to work them.
Maybe your condx will improve tonight and you'll get an EU opening --- but
don't forget to thank the CW guys for not operating this weekend so you have
a better chance of hearing them.
