Comments:

The contest started OK in daylight, but by sunset QRN became brutal. I quit
operating fairly early on Friday evening. Saturday morning from 4:30 to 7:30 AM
local time was very productive. Saturday afternoon QRN was low, and became
annoying early Saturday evening. Luckily that improved later Saturday night.
Sunday morning was again productive from 6 AM to 8 AM local time. Only DX were
JH2FXK, RT0F & KH6LC. I used a new TS-890S about 90% of the time, and the
waterfall display as implemented by the Kenwood software engineers made S&P
a joy. Tuning doesn't smear the waterfall at all. With stations every few
hundred Hz, I could center the next waterfall line in the passband within 1
second. While I was busy on 160m, reports of 630m QRN was worse than August! I
certainly didn't miss working any DX on 475 kHz.
