Comments:
Judging by the reports on 3830, two conclusions can be reached. Condx
 were above average for the bottom of the cycle, and the mid-Atlantic
 is the absolutely worst area of the country from which to operate
 except maybe Alaska. K7SV didn't even make the top 20, that tells it
 all. There was a half-hour opening on 10M around 1845Z to the Rockies
 and West Coast with some really strong signals coming thru, but it was
 poorly attended/missed by many. I couldn't run much of anything on
 10 or 15 and despite plenty of loud signals from as close as WI on
 20, the run answers just didn't materialize in a big way. I had to
 S&P about 20 Q's to make it to 100 on 20. Skip went long in a huge
 hurry at sunset leaving a big skip zone even on 80. Finally, around
 0130Z, I had some really fast runs on 80 and 160, but by then the
 battle was lost, so I QRT'ed at 0235 before tiredness became a big
 issue. Signals on 160 were excellent and those not skipping over on
 80 the same.
