[CQ-Contest] Incredible OH position

[Barry]

True John, but those are short openings and can't make up for the many 
hours of band openings to southern Europe.  Here in the northeast, we do 
get openings into OH on 10 and 15 m when the bands are otherwise only 
open to JA/UA0 (besides the endless opening to the south.)

However, in the early evening (local time), when those openings occur, 
it is prudent for a single-op to be on 20 or 40.
73,
Barry
