Rig: Ten Tec Omni VII, Ameritron ALS-600, 400W to 176' CF at 60'
I just played a few hours during the day and evenings as time allowed here.  I
found propagation to be down a bit on 20M. I never tried 15 or 10M.  I listened
a couple of times but nothing was heard there. 
On the lower bands, heavy QRN (a cold front with rain moved in Saturday) made
copy a bit difficult. The big stations started coming through on 40M at 1900Z,
1400 local time, or 3 hours before sunset. Only a few of them could hear me. An
hour later conditions had improved to the point that most stations I called came
back! 
Thanks for the Q's.  CU next year.  This is a fun event, although I wish there
were a bit more activity.
73,
Puck, W4PM
