Comments:
Very interesting conditions. Average rates were higher but total Q's and mults
were lower than last year -- total operating time this year was 80% of last
year. Either age or frustration with the incredible line noise, presented me as
an unexpected gift from the local power company, reduced my hours of
participation.
Essentially all S&P this year. Openings to EU on 40m and 80m must have happened
when I was not around. EU Signals on 40 were quite marginal for the most part
although Pac and JA were about usual. My line noise source was on the JA path
so 20m and 15m JA QSO numbers were much reduced.
The power company and I have accepted the objective of eliminating the noise
before the ARRL DX SSB weekend. I know I will keep my part of the bargain; I
can only hope they are good for their part.
