Only heard N3BB on 7, absolutely nobody else although I *think* K4BAI was in
there. Even W9RE was superweak on 3.5 and was surprised he came back.
Started NS on 14, total waste of time, zero signals. 7 gradually improved from
SNS lack of propagation but was still pretty poor even for the west coast; only
heard N6RO and W0YK and everybody else had similarly low-NRs those first 5 mins.
Thanks to newbies (for me, anyway) N0AC and K9UIY on 7; also nice to work VA3NR
and W1FJ as "rare" mults for me these past few months. Stuck with 7 till 0345
as I knew 3.5 would be good but I'd bottom out on multipliers, so wanted a few
more on 7 before QSYing. Worked well, with 8 on 7 for the first time in a month
or more. And 13 on 3.5 ain't chicken feed fer me, either. West Coast was barely
audible but band kept getting better; last one I heard was K6VVA but couldn't
grab that slippery Locust ;o) Had my finger on the bandswitch button after my
last CQ and a split second before I was going to press it for 160, N9NB called
in so wound up not going to 160 at all as quickly grabbed a last few Qs on 80,
9 in the last 5 minutes.
Those short static crashes were really perfidious tonight; they kept taking out
the NR but rarely anything else, noticed several others similarly afflicted.

40m sloper toward EU (one these days when there's no EU contest coming up, I'll
rember to swing it around to the NW for NS ;o)
