Comments:
Terrible P-static: S-5/6 on Beverage, S-7 on Inv.-L Tx ant. Fri./Sat.,
only ~1 S-unit better Sat./Sun. By Sat. 06 Z, NO QSOs in W5, 6, or 7
except one AZ. Finally, ~06 Z Sun., TX, ID, NV, and IA in 30 min.
Fun to have a G and a VP9 answer my CQs. Last 2 hr. (22-24 Z Sun.),
static down to S-3; picked up 43 QSOs and 3 multipliers: NF, NS, and EA8.
Ordinarily I emphasize CW contesting; only my second time doing CQ 160 SSB, but
the challenge of making QSOs on 160 SSB got me involved despite the P-static and
lightning crashes.
