Comments:

I broke my own rule and gave up on the band shortly after 0800.  I felt like the
opposite of the spotlight effect was taking place.  Lots of QRN from the
lightning storm along the gulf coast of Louisiana and Mississippi apparently
made it very difficult for most stations east of the the Mississippi to hear my
signal.

With nearly 24 hours since getting out of bed on Saturday morning, numerous
Sunday committments at church, and after more than 1/2 hour of getting no
answers to CQ and finding only one station with the 2nd radio who was new and
who responded to my call, I made the choice to let it go until next time.

PJ2 and KH6 were the only DX contacts.

Congrats to all the participants and the many great scores.  73, and Happy New
Year to all.

Milt, N5IA
