Comments:

Aggggh! I originally was going to do an all band effort, but conditions looked 
really crummy on the upper bands.  It looked like a pretty boring weekend, so I 
decided to see if a US station could make a serious attack on the 40m plaque 
for first place world wide.  With a 4 over 4 stack at 200 over 90 I actually 
thought I might have a chance.  WRONG!  What a miserable weekend. Too bad very 
few casual contesters outside the USA listen up in the WPX contest.  Too bad 
40m is a huge wasteland from 1200Z through 2100Z during the day and the pig 
farmers refuse to give you a contact.  Most of all too bad we are second class 
citizens in the RF world of 40m and are forced into the ghetto of 7150 through 
7300.  Some day we will have equal rights on 40 m.  At 0130Z Saturday night I 
had enough, and quit at 1,000,025 on the scoreboard.  The European stranglehold 
on the 40m plaque is safe from any further attacks from me.  Never again!
