Holiday Greetings to All!

starts at 11 AM EST (1500Z) Saturday and runs to 11 AM EST (1500Z) 
Sunday morning.  There is a 14 hour operating time limit.  For complete

While conditions on 160M are far from great, things seem to be 
improving, at least momentarily.  I had a nice run of around 100 EU 
stations as W1AW/3 last night.  Haven't been QRV around sunrise lately, 
but seems there may have been a recent LP opening and also some VK/JA.

I'll be operating as W1AW/3 this year, hoping for back-to-back #1 US score.

GL to all and enjoy the holidays.
