Comments:

It was a 4QP effort, total Q's for all 4 was 828. 7QP took the biggest hit in
order to be competitive in IN and NEQP. There was a surprisingly high level of
activity on 40 phone from IN which took away from 7QP and then at 20Z NEQP was
tacked on. Conditions on 20 were weak backscatter into NE (not worth trying to
break through many callers out west), so I spent some time on 20 in 7QP until
activity built on the low bands. I had a good 20 SSB run in the 22Z hour and all
day until 2330Z conditions were decent into 7 land on 20. I checked 15 several
times, another first time goose egg like FQP. I did a poor job of finding N7XU/M
and K7RAT/M, but I did do S&P on 20 several times.

The only time there was reasonable prop to IN/NE/7's on the same band was on 40
around 24Z. 40 CW was loaded at that hour! Some 7's were lost in the QRM, but
the big guns were already fairly loud. Later, around 03Z both 80 and 40 were
excellent, but the QRN crashes on 80 was high out west. Sorry for the lack of
breakdown by bands. WA7BNM's parsing tool for breaking out totals for each QP
works very well (a big thank you!), but does not break down by bands.

Hopefully next year will see the return of prop on 15; we seem stuck around a
SFI of 70. Thanks for the Q's and all of the expeditions and roving to rare
spots. Overall activity from 7 land seemed close to other years.

73 and stay safe, Jeff
