Comments:

This is another portable operation from W7AYT's QTH in Concord.
I ran the FT-1000mp (with dual QF-1a audio filters) into a Hy-Gain
3-element yagi 12mh using the WQ6X phased cobra sloper as a backup antenna.

I don't have to tell you how BAD the band condx were for this contest.
Other than working CW5W and PT3T and a couple of VE7's the rest of the
contest was about working  stations west of Colorado.  It almost seemed
like the California QSO party.  Amazingly, AZ was on of the last QSOs 
to hit the log.  While I could work virtually everyone I heard, it was
the hearing that was lacking.

Surprisingly, there was an opening from California to Colorado Friday
evening from 06:00z to 06:40z.  I put out many calls on SSB but found
an extreme shortage of SSB operators.  What's THAT all about?
