I was expecting a lot of W's both for mult's and Q's but the high bands were
very long here. Hard to work back scatter with 5W! The activity on the low
bands just wasn't there in the quantity I had hoped for. It was a whole lot
easier to work Europe on 40 than the USA! Fixing my European beverage wasn't
a big help but I could hear a lot more stations I couldn't work! I'm hoping
KR2Q was rounding his score up to 1.8M on 3830. What say Doug? Anyway it was
a heck of a horserace, but I could have used that KR2 multiplier! BTW the
effect of the new rule added 2% to the score here.
