Comments:

Well, Murphy hit hard in this CQP. As much as we tried, we could not get any
substantial runs going on 10 meter SSB Saturday and again on Sunday when the
band initially appeared to open better then Saturday. I saw that several other
coastal SoCal stns also did not do well on 10, with fewer than 100
SSB Qs but K6QP CCE team in Imperial County out towards ElCentro, hit the
Jackpot on 10 mtr band with well over 200 Qs compared to our paltry 62 SSB. We
missed the only VY1 station VE8GER, who apparently was S&Ping and giving
out the golden mult to a lucky few stations. We picked a site that
unfortunately forced our tower trailer to be too close to the operating
position and internet modem, causing RFI problems for the first few hours with
stuttering CW keying and never letting us use packet or skimmer spots to any
avail. Two mornings in a row I felt like I was doing a "My Cousin
Vinny" rerun, as starved for sleep,I was awakened at sunrise Saturday
morning as our hosts had apparently lined up a worker to come in and play a
nice loud tune on his chain saw outside my open window and on Sunday a flock of
about 3 dozen Crows decided to sing me another lullaby again at sunrise. Ah,
yes, quiet country living.      
   We felt the team did very well on all other bands and modes but found 15
very trying at times with poor propagation and deep QSB fades. 20 did not play
as well as last year's CQP but 40, 80 and 160 conditions seemed better than
last year. see you all next year from a better County Expedition site.
