Sometimes power line noise can be a good thing!

Started out Friday evening cq'n .
Didn't take long to realize the average call from
EU would be buried in the power line noise.
Gave up trying to run and played with the knob
rest of the session.

Started out same way Saturday evening but around
9:30 local time the noise let up. Unfortunately by
then seemed all the amateurs had gone home and
only the professionals were still around and I had
managed to work most of them night before.

Kept DXsummit and Reversebeacon up.
Not even one contact was made utilizing those pages.

The good thing?
Wasn't much use in listening to that noise all
night so I got some sleep both nights.
Plus if I didn't have the noise to blame for poor
showing I'd be really uncomfortable with the
remaining short list of excuses.
