With the SN hovering between 20 and 35, this contest definitely did not make it
into the books as being known for great propagation. I'm worried if this is an
indication of the peak we can expect in two years or so. This should be a fun
QRP contest adventure when propagation is decent, but if it's not, like this
time, it's torture.

It was amazing to see the propagation change in just a few minutes from Es to
5-land, then to 6 and 7-land, and then to TE to South America on Sunday
afternoon.

I hope others had better luck.
