Comments:
What a mess that was. Poor conditions on 15 and 20 and no signals on 40m. I
started on 15 thinking it might come alive once the starting bell went. Wrong!
Eked out a few S&P QSOs, dropped to 20 and S&P'd there a bit. Halfway
thru, I checked 40 and CQ'd for a couple of minutes. Nothing. Not a blip on the
panadapter. It wasn't much better on 15 with only a half dozen stations (most of
whom were there at the start). Towards the end, 20 started picking up a bit, but
not enough to make up for lost time.
So, many thanks to everyone I managed to work. And thanks to those I wasn't able
to work (either getting their attention S&P'ing or just not able to copy
thru the noise floor).
Hopefully, we will all see better conditions at 03z. Fingers crossed.
