Comments:

- Just as well have been beating my head against a fence post, as my dad would
say.  Propagation was as bad as I've seen it in nearly 40 years.  Didn't hear a
whisper on 10 and I could only work Hawaii on 80 and 40.  5 hours was enough
trying to get anybody to hear my 5 watts.  
Aside from the non-existent propagation, another huge frustration was the guys
that just won't ID.  It wastes everybody's time to wait and wait and then have
to ask his call, only to find out I've worked him before.  Why not just give
your call instead of "QRZ?"?  Duh.
