Soapbox: Lots of activity on, but unfortunaly, the football
playoffs are on the same weekend. (GO DENVER) I wish the contest
could start at a better time. 1800 is late on the west coast, and
the Eu. opening is just about gone. Too bad we couldn't start
at 0000 Saturday like the other contests, then we could have
the Saturday morning opening too. Keep it at 24 hours if that's
what everyone wants. At 1800, it turns into a RTTY SS. All the
contacts were domestic except for 4 or 5 South Americans. Only
worked one Eu on 40, LZ0A. I could hear the East Coast working
DX on 40 and 80, but nothing heard here. Band was full of W,K
stations. Oh well, enough whining :-) It was fun and there was
LOTS of activity, even on 10.
