Comments:

Having returned to radiosport just as the second solar peak was arriving I
became accustomed to good solar levela and strong signals.  That was not the
case for the first day of WPX for those of us in the North country!

I was dismayed hearing other contesters QSO totals growing while mine lingered.
 Conditions were difficult, requiring many fills.   I'm sure I frustrated many
callers.  This was probably not a weekend for low power operation.

The last 6 hours on Day 2 was completely different Unfortunately, by then I was
pretty worn out from fatigue and straining from Day 1. I keep telling myself
that I had better get used to these condx going forward.  

Hopefully, by this time next year there will be a few new VE4 CW ops ready to
dip their toes in the water.  

Thank you to all for the QSO's.  I hope to see many of you on July 1 for the
Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) annual contest.
