Comments:

Possibly the worst 10M contest in memory, and there aren't enough drugs to make
me want to stay in the chair for a whole weekend of this kind of torture, so I
just got on now and then over the weekend, not that it made much difference.
With the exception of a pipeline opening to Florida on Saturday morning, the
band was pretty much uniformly awful both days. The only thing worse than this
is a VHF contest. 

Can it get any worse? YOU BET. We're not at the bottom of the cycle yet, and
there weren't any solar flares over the weekend, as far as I'm aware. Bog help
us.

Thanks to all who called me; I regret that my noise level was somewhat high and
there were times I could hear traces of signals, but they were buried by noise.

And oh - just a thought - I enjoy a challenge as much as the next person, but
does anyone have any idea why the ARRL chooses to hold the 10 Meter contest at
a time of year when, in the northern hemisphere of our planet (where the great
majority stations reside), there is a minimum of sunlight, which is what makes
10 Meters work?
