I've been down with a bad cold, and hadn't slept more than
three hours a night all week. I certainly wasn't planning to
operate this one, other than to work a new country if heard. As
usual, I got caught up in it after starting.
Most operation was first night. Pounced a lot more than I
normally do. Noise got progressively worse as the night went
on. No JAs heard. Missed NE and ND (first time I've missed
those two in a VERY long time).
Snowstorm and attendant snow static hit about 0000Z Saturday.
Radar showed it was going to continue most all night. I ran
for another hour or so, and since I wasn't dedicated to running
up a score, I shut down for the night. Sounds like I missed a
great EU opening.
A few more QSOs Sunday morning, but still no JA or additonal
Pacific multipliers.
