Comments:

Interesting ctest.

Saturday very quick start, lots of stations and good signals.
After the local dark, the band suddenly started to die,
which is normal situation in-between both layers propagation,
but this time this meant only 10 qso in 1 hour of time.
Some over Atlantic big signals remained strong in that period.
After that recovered somehow for close to 100 qsos again,
but anyway completely closed more than one hour before expectation.

Sunday, just the opposite. Slow start, some good signals.
But a lot of crowd and severe qrm, several stations chatting, some calling
cq on exactly the same frequency of just nearby. Instead of band
closing in the evening, it became as a hot boiler,
with stations coming back from all over the NA continent.
CA, BC, LA, TX, FL, NY, LAB and all in the middle with some
extremely strong signals, while coresponding stations using
only moderate multiband antennas. Also the closure was 
this time 1.30h after the expectation.
It might easily happen that several stations exploited much better 
frequencies that myself did, and made this day much better score.

Thanks to all for calls. Finally managed to work those
otherwise more rare multies as are SD, ND, MT, NV, BC, AB in tenths.
Got also LAB, and probably the first time ever NWT,
but was not able to catch NU and YU.
