Conditions appeared to be very good with litttle to no noise. I started late
and off the bat was hearing Europeans (9A, DK, OK, EA and more) at 59 and a
whole bunch of NA/SA/Caribbean (ZF, C6, HK, NP4, XE and more) at 59+20 or
better, not to mention everybody and their uncle in K/VE. All this on my
non-resonant vertical. I thought something out of ordinary was in the making
and decided to go at 4 W in a QRP attempt. Nothing but frustration followed;
pretty much nobody was hearing me. After a couple of hours I decided to go full
blown 100 W from my Jupiter. Guess what? Nothing changed; nobody was hearing me
either. If I worked all I could hear, I would rake up quite a score. As it was
I have the following question: if an alligator is "all mouth, no
ears", then which animal is the opposite?
