OK1CF/Karel heard about 0040 UTC calling CQ, very deep QSB going from Q5 copy 
down to nothing and back again.  K4TL worked him from Florida but I was not 
heard.

I called CQ numerous times but no replies.  Even with 500 watts I was not 
making it onto any of the RBN spotters from EU.

Went up to 80 with 500 watts and was spotted by G4IRN.

This is depressing.  I don't have high hopes for the 160 meter contest in 
December.  What a difference from 2009-2010 when 100 watts easily got me into 
EU and middle east.
