I thought space would open up on 20M once 10M went live. Well, 20M was as busy
as I've ever heard it, and 10M was full from 28.300 to well past 28.800 with
nary a sliver between stations. Truly awesome conditions.
As good as the high bands were, the low bands were virtually worthless from BC
-- 40M in particular had one-way prop from Europe, with hundreds of workable
stations unable to hear high-power from this end, frequency battles galore, and
splits jamming the whole band so it wasn't even safe to run NA above 7.200 when
Europe wasn't working out below 7.200. 80M was not good, either.
Managed to double my previous personal best (last year), and added many new SSB
countries. Only had three real runs -- 227 on 15M Saturday afternoon, then 144
on 10M and 114 on 20M this afternoon. Both were mostly US. Only 80M run was
48Qs at 0800z early Saturday morning.
Didn't plan to, but ended up splitting my daylight time fairly evenly between
20M, 15M and 10M, with just over 470 Qs on each. 20M was still the money band
for mults, but DX was tough to run there. I think 10M will be the new 20M for
rate.

See many of you again in Sweepstakes, and my all-time fave CQWW CW at the end
of the month. Can 10M get any better?
