Comments:
20 meters started out white-hot on Friday night. When it closed, the QSY
to 40 and 80 was greeted with nasty QRN. I'm not sure if it was the storms
over New Mexico, or a solar flare, but the QRN was S9.
20 was so-so on Saturday. 15 open just a peep. 80 meters was tremendous
on Saturday night. The QRN disappeared and it was clear sailing.
No openings for me to Europe on 20. Worked very few JA's.
I entered as assisted, but I don't think I got any prefixes from spots.
I looked at the big picture about what band was open etc.
Best DX: D44AC on 20 and 80.
