DL4YAO   19     418     42          52668

RIG: TS-870, 500 Watts Amp
ANT: 2 Ele phased Verticals homemade

Comments:
Very few signals from W0 call area, worked more Texas stations than from
complete W0-land... The only Mid-West who was loud was K4VX. 

Worked abt 20 Californias, but NOBODY from Oregon, Washington was 
heard, except W7RM weakly on SAT afternoon via the long path. Sometimes
the CA's were strong, so it was a surprise not to hear any WA/OR.
Also signals from the US South (Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma etc..) were good.

Loudest signals:

S9:
NA5B, N7DD, K4VX, W6XX, WO6T, K6NA

S9+10:
K8AZ, K5YAA, K5YA

S9+20:
NQ4I, NJ4F, W4MYA
(most of the W1/2/3 Big Guns were also somewhere between
10 and 20 over S9)

The strongest signals were K1KI and W3LPL with K1KI maybe a little
stronger. Both were sometimes S9+25. I guess, many EU's thought they
were locals..  Ok, but US North-East IS almost neighborhood for us,)
