     Many thanks to Allan, VE7SZ, for a place to sit for the WPX
weekend. The antennas and equipment performed flawlessly as usual.

     The contest started out nicely with 80-100 rates into EU for the
first six hours, but deteriorated rapidly once the solar disturbance
hit.  It was interesting to experience no real JA opening.  Normally, a
20M single band effort from VE7 will generate 300-500 JAs; worked only
about a hundred this time, and missed a lot of JA prefixes.

     Thanks to all for the contacts!

73,

Gary  VA7RR
