W0UN CQWW CW 40M

[John Brosnahan]

A little late getting this score out (but the excuses are good--
got married, Thanksgiving, and father's health problems).

I have included a few comments that George forwarded for
whatever insight they might provide.

73  John  W0UN


1996 CQWW  CW  40M  single band

W0UN (W0UA, op)    554,645         1255       3445       37     124


George's soapbox comments:

The "Magic Bullet" condx that allowed a winning score for me last year 
were long-gone this year--normal/sub-normal was what we got in 0-land

Very noisy band, especially second night--even John's excellent NW 
Beverage couldn't make JA's easy--but it surely helped!!

Why Zone 37 escaped me escapes me!  I also missed XZ1A--tried him 
too late Sun AM--op's fault on both. . .

K1ZM was all over that band like a cheap suit--I'd bet he's our winner 
in a skate. . .

Nonetheless very proud of the score--way down from last year, but 
difficulty-factor way up;  John's station always a joy to operate & felt
I got as much as possible from it under the condx available (with the 
two exceptions noted above!)
 
Congratulations to all for their excellent scores--hope you enjoyed it 
as much as I did & see you next year (when condx will be perfect again!)

George Schultz  W0UA  (op of W0UN)
