Comments:

I have never competed in WAE CW before.  I am usually
travelling.  I decided to make time for it this year 
but even then had to quit at 21Z on Sunday to head to 
the airport.  

Conditions were typical for geomagnetic disturbed in the
summertime here in Vermont.  I was often listening to
K1LZ work people on 10 and 15 that I could not hear.  Also,
80M was very strongly hit by the disturbance.  That all 
being said, it was a fun contest.

I had hoped to put in a full 36 hours even though I was 
leaving early.  On both nights - right after sunrise EU time
the rates dropped significantly and the 20M opening here
was about 0945Z.  So it was hard to put in 36 hours.  I 
did work some nice Russia around 0130Z but the volume of
callers was not big.

The participation in this contest does not seem as strong
on the EU side as the SSB version in September.  I think
its fighting for summertime plans and that many people are
intimidated by the QTC process (who can blame them).

I was glad I could try it this year.  Especially because I will
not be available for the WAE SSB.

See you next in CQWW SSB.
