::QTH is above the salt water Strait of Juan de Fuca
opening to the Pacific, and the enhancement from it was 
certainly needed, and noticed.  Quiet pin-drop sigs night 
surfing off the coast were captured all night!  Amazing.


::Comments

Started the contest on 40 and after a few hours it came to me:

A SINGLE BAND 20 ENTRY IS THE KEY!


::Conditions

LONG PATH 1am PST on 20m due south for 45 mins.
IH9/OL5Y, LZ, etc.  Water shot sure helped!

80% of the Q's seemed to be UA3-9.


::Memorable

It's the last 5 minutes of the contest and the during the past 15 mins 
the band seems to be steadily opening from the night time fades.  
XV2M CQ's in the growing QRM, I need him!  Turning to grab the key I bump the
dial sending me far far away from that tiny segment...  

I spent 5 mins looking and find him with 20 seconds to spare on 14.019.
