Comments:
For the most part, conditions seemed to be better than the SP, but the slow,
deep QSB was also evident. What was clear to us, was that we need to find
another 3-6 dB of receive gain to hear that next level of European stations. We
could hear many calling but just couldn't pull them out of the noise. Many
stations kept trying, and eventually they would peak and we could snag them, but
many seemed to give up before they got the "peak".

Our best score ever in this test. We basically ended the contest Sunday morning
about 1330; I made another 20 QSOs from home Sunday afternoon before the Super
Bowl. I'm not sure which is more difficult: reschedule this contest for another
weekend, or get the NFL to schedule the Super Bowl on another weekend!
