Comments:

With solar numbers SFI=87, A=0, K=0>1 I expected much better propagation. Just
didn't happen. Still, let's hope the rising flux is the onset of a great trend,
not an anomaly -- Big Elmer playing tricks on us just for ARRL 10M weekend.

Band was dead for all but a few minutes on Sunday morning when I worked 21 of
my 23 Qs -- TN and GA mostly, plus FL and AL. Heard lots of pinging meteor
scatter signals on Friday night, and a couple on Saturday, but way too short to
get full callsigns.

Worked Argentina and Uruguay for the only DX Qs, one each. Heard a few guys
calling as I CQd but they were too close to ESP to answer with any hope of
getting anything out of 'em -- gotta turn those yagis northwest to work BC.

Can't get any worse than this, he says for the fifth time in the past year.

73 and thanks for the Qs. Needed every single one :)
