COMMENT:

Excellent EU condx from Saint Louis MO. Little problem running EU even
with ground mounted 4-square in suburbia. Asia was much tougher with
high noise beaming NW and far fewer and weaker JAs than in the past.
High point was working 8Q7 for my first ever z-22 on 40 in a contest.
A61AJ was a new band country on 40. Even with zone 22 I only worked
32 zones which is several below par.

 Missed Zones 18, 23, 24, 26, 34, 36, 37, 39

I expected that low band activity would be way off this year with the
return of sunspots, but that didn't seem to happen.
