Comments:
As others have pointed out, the sleepy little backwater called unlimited
category seems to be waking up - causing amazing packet pileups at the
end.
I didn't get the sweep until fairly late - missing AK the first night
due to
the poor 20M antenna situation here. ID seemed to be MIA the first day
as
well, but I worked three of them the second day. Meanwhile, a packet
review
tells me they were there on day 1 - so where was I? Getting a sweep
seems like a different mystery each year.
The bands sounded really FB except 80 had plenty of QRN to the West the
second night from a wx front out by Texas. Courtesy seemed at an all
time high as did activity. As usual, 15 was not productive from here -
SS from the East Coast is a low band activity until the sunspots return.
Congrats to those 1300+ Q folks - how do you do that?

woods.
