This weekend was proof the bands aren't yet ready for prime time. Didn't put in
a full effort, or even much of a part-time one. Still, enjoyed my time on the
air -- all 17 hours. One of those hours was spent remembering how to use the
radios, as it has been a while since I have lit up the RTTY gear.

Worst outing ever for CQWW RTTY -- lowest score, lowest DX count, and almost my
lowest QSO total.

Not many surprises but highlights were finally working a JA for the double mult
on 20M late Sunday (just one though -- not sure where the JAs have been) and
being called by VP8NO for the mult on 20M near the end.

Lots of good, clean signals on the bands and I didn't notice much QRM from
maladjusted sets. Had expected more collisions with FT8/4 ops getting peeved by
the RTTY activity low on 20 and 40, but it didn't look too bad. At one point,
there were RTTY signals on 20M from 14075 all the way up to 14150. If only I had
a point for every one of those signals.

Thanks to all who got on, even for a little while, and especiallly those who
travelled to activate DX.
