For the most part, it seemed that the DX was coming in better than the K/W
stations.  The high noise level on 80 & 40 was disappointing, but I guess that
one can't have everything.  It was neat to work a couple of stations on 10 -
but it still has a long way to go up in this part of the world.  I did hear a
few other stations, but no-where strong enough to work.

The splatter from the super power stations on 15/20 was disappointing.  When
presented to one of these stations, the comment was that the meters are reading
ok & there's a lot of it anyway...  When the HAM who lives a mile or so away
from me gets on CW, I don't hear anything until he gets within a couple of khz
of what I'm, listening to.  I was hearing the splatter from some of the contest
stations this time around more than 50 khz away from their centre frequency and
at a level that was causing readability issues..  As I said, disappointing..

It appears that I managed to pick up four of the six states that I am missing
for phone WAS.  Guess that I will be lurking on the Delaware, WVa and Nebraska
QSO parties so I can finish off my Triple Play
