When I'd suggested to Mario to use 4 digits instead of two,
for the exchange, I never thought any of us would live to see
the usefulness :-).
Long path propagation to Europe in the Oregon evening was
better than I have seen in a while. Some of the European
stations actually heard me!
The T22SC was quite frustrated with the contest, it seems. A
few times that I tuned across him, I heard him repeat that he was
not in the contest. Another time, I heard some contester pester
him for an exchange, transmitting over other people.
High point of the contest: I heard Eddie blow his stack at
a frequency thief! That was entertaining :-).
