Comments:

I agree with Ken, WM5R that "the sporadic E propagation was simply spectacular
this year" in this contest. I recently moved to Lawrence, KS and have no
antennas up. So I loaded up a M2 6 Meter HO loop in the attic QRP on 10 Friday
evening. Not expecting much with it, I was surprised to hear Texas stations
booming in when I turned the radio. Even with just a few watts W5PR and K5TR
came right back on SSB. E-skip is amazing. In betweeen helping the XYL with
chores, I worked another 15 stations. Had to work Saturday day, that evening
found the sporadic E back, and made a couple more contacts. Reviewing the
posted scores, the E-skip favored Texas, New Mexico and other southern states.
They had Es to high population areas like the 3, 4, 8, 9 call areas.
