Comments:
A part-time effort on my part and a marginal improvement over last year's
score. Activity seemed light.
Propagation path into europe was tough going. I suspect a lot of localized
openings - I could hear stations 100 miles east of me hearing & working stuff
that didn't make it to Albany NY. The northeast direction sounded somewhat
noisy and european signals generally were not only weak, but had a "grundgey"
quality that made copy quite difficult.
Signals from the west coast were not that strong, but luckily free from the
noise/grundge effect. About 30 west coast stations were logged.
Thanks to everyone who gave me a call and apologies to all the many stations I
couldn't pull out. Copy was really tough at times.
