Never even heard a EU station here in Las Vegas. Did work some FK8,
3D2, T30, ZL, ZK1 and ONE (?) JA only. No VS, DU, HL, HS, YC, etc.
About an hour before the contest ended the band went stone dead.
Thought the antenna came down except the other bands were coming thru
OK. And where were all the VE's?. Only heard/worked VY1 and ONT. I
was able to work all the stations I heard except for my neighbor
states of WY, UT, NM, and AZ. Heard them, they couldn't hear me.
