Comments:
What a difference a year makes. WX5S was QRV as M/2 again in CQ
WPX CW but this time with much less QSOs and total points than in 2006.
But don't blame us, we tried our best and had a lot of fun regardless!
Blame the stinking propagation... here's the proof:
1) Europe didn't open too well either morning on 20m. An interesting opening
to EU was both afternoons and through the night but usually with low
rate.
2) On 15m we worked one DL, and once heard 9A station with a decent signal but
he could hear us. We confirmed it was a direct path opening, not skew path.
3) JA propagation was also very dissapointing. We worked zero, yes, zero JAs on
15m. We heard couple of JAs on 15m but they were really weak... probably beaming
to EU. Fortunately we worked little bit more JAs on 20 and 40m.
