Comments:

This was a very difficult contest for us!  We were handicapped by the 
propogation as a combination of high absorption on the polar path and 
incredible aurora noise masked most signals.  Compounding our woes was the snow 
static all weekend as Spring is still just a hope for us in upstate NY.  

Worked many more USA stations this year compared to past years which I suspect 
is due to the propogation.  From here, it was almost as if we were well onto 
the slope of declining sunspot cycle propogation.  This year I've noticed 10 
meters exhibiting its summertime face much earlier than last year.  

Now it's time to regroup, put up more antennas and solve some problems as this 
years contest year is finally over.  Sincere thanks to all who worked us during 
the season.
