Despite the conditions, this contest left me feeling weak and frustrated.  More
times than I can remember, loud guys just CQ'd in my face.  I could not get any
runs going, or if I did, it was all 1-pointers calling in.  I totally screwed
up 20m; I never worked very much Europe, and I did not work ONE SINGLE JA on
the band!  KH6 was scarce, but KL7 was plentiful.  The 10/15 European opening
on Sunday seemed better than Saturday.  Nothing from the west on 40 except JA,
not even KH6, VK or ZL.

Thanks to everyone who came back to my call.  I hope the conditions repeat
themselves at the end of October and November.

73 - Jim AD1C

p.s. I had not worked JA on 10 meters since 2002, when I lived in
Massachusetts.  The first one I worked Saturday answered my CQ.  But no one
else did.
