Soapbox:
Only a part time effort this year.  Fundamentally a S&P affair for me as
conditions from VE5 land ranged from very good to very poor, but tended to 
the poor side.  I did actually hear some signals on 10m, but it did not 
open enough to actually work anyone in Eu.. although we came close. 15 and 
20 were pretty good, with 15 being open a surprisingly long time.  40 had a 
bit of a quiet period and I managed to pluck a dozen Q's before the static 
and noise set in... more the results of great ops at the Eu end than my 
small/low delta loop.  80 & 160 are not DX bands on a city lot in the 
middle of Canada unless conditions are VERY favorable!

Thanks to the DARC team for another season of WAE.  Look forward to the 
last leg - RTTY - later in November.  Special thanks to all those I worked 
and I look forward to seeing you all in the next one.
