It was great seeing people spread out on 40! Hopefully we will all remember
this (and the other suggestions Tom makes) for the upcoming contests.

I noticed much more activity up high in the 40 meter band almost to where we
stop at 7125. It was great to have everyone spread out & not all squeezed
down lower as normally is the case & hope this continues even without a CW
contest going on.
80 was tough with the band being very noisy as it got later but I did manage
more than normal.
I noticed the same with some not ending with QRZ or at least CQ so it slowed
things down as I had to watch a few QSO's to figure out who was working the
Freq.,
