Comments:

Not long ago, CQ’ing in the 10 meter contest for a small station meant looking
for a hole above 28.150.  I miss those days.  This weekend I could CQ anywhere,
and except for a few hours Friday and a few more Saturday morning, it really
didn’t matter.  Propagation Friday evening was very interesting and reminded me
of 144 mhz tropospheric ducting and/or sporadic E.  I had six QSO’s after the
first hour (started a little late) – four of them ZL or 3D2, and supper smelled
great, so after that I returned to not much more going on. That soon changed
with 4’s starting to come in.  They weren’t S-meter busters, but they were
workable.  Then came the 6’s, followed by the central/midwestern U.S., and
finally the northwest and some VE’s.  After all was said and done, I went to bed
with 31 states and provinces, an incredible surprise after such a slow start. 
However, that was truly the highlight here.
