Comments:

Conditions were superb and Europe was coming through an hour before sunset.
Things were starting to really hum until the local atrocious KP2 clix machine
(3/4) of a mile away started up.  There were his birdies all over the DX portion
so I moved way up the band, put the attenuator on and relied on the EU Beverage
to copy much of anything. (RX here is a Flex 6600M and IC-7300) I was even
tempted at one point to try split and TX on 1822.5 and RX on 1900. Important:
The Clix Machine was *not* from NP2J who is never a problem from 2 miles away. 
I read in an earlier comment here that NP2J needed a transformer for his
Ameritron Amp.  If he would only have given me a call, I have two extra
Ameritron Amps (Al-1200 and AL-1500) he could have used till his transformer,
which was shipped via boat (ugh) from the factory.

Many thanks to ZL3IX for a 28 pointer and UA9BA for a 21 point contact. Both 
Greg and Andy had excellent signals.  No Africans this year and only one SA
station worked, not even PJ2T!  I did work KH6LC and many west coast stations
that count more points than parts of Western Europe. 

Antenna TX: 90-foot cage fed tower with beams on top.  RX:  600 and 900-foot
Beverages both single wire and reversible.
