I was only active from Saturday evening on.
Had the idea that there were more participants as last years.
About the DX, I did not hear a lot of asian stations, and those that I
hear were very weak. Did not work Japan.
Till about 02:00 UTC I did only work 5 NA stations, and signals were not
good.
I took a break and from 03:00 I was on again. After that time I worked
several eastcoast NA.
Signals were like on 20m. But almost no midwest.
From half hour before sunrise (sunrise at 07:30) I also worked AZ and
CA and several caribbean stations. Signals like 20m.
After sunrise band closed pretty fast. Last dx at 07:33 with W0AIH.
I stopped at 07:45.
Sunday evening was the same, only EU no Asia, only some middle east
heard. (Not worked as too many stations only calling and not listening).
I did work 2 TX stations, but used to work more.

The CQ 160 contest was a large disappointment this year here in EM21.
At least at this location, Europe was weak or not heard. Please, I
would like to know what others were hearing. I saw few, if any EU
postings on VE7CC from others in this area.
At least I am enjoying the winter. It was a frigid 78 degrees F here
in EM21pi today. (No, that's not a typo)
