[NCC] NC8C WPX Almost Halftime Report

[jimk8mr at aol.com]

I'm taking a break as things have slowed down a bit, but in case you had forgotten about the WPX CW this weekend . . .

Past performance is not guarantee of future returns, your mileage may vary, etc., but it's been a very interesting WPX so far.
I started on 15M at 0000z, with the band open to Europe! Some good signals from various parts, though not much activity as people don't expect to find that opening at that time! 35 QSOs in the log before going to 20. Which was packed with loud Europeans. 

40 and 80 worked OK, even had a few South Americans call me on 80. (It is winter time down there).
For most of the morning 10 and 15 had conditions that one would dream of for FD or an NAQP. Lots of Es on both bands, including a few more Europeans on 15 and even OE3K on 10. LZ9W was heard on 10, but I guess my mere KW as not enough for them to hear me  :-)
Band breakdown so far (160>>10):   6  130  145  319  247  75   x    445 Pfx    for 784K
Thanks to those I've worked, hope to catch more of you later, especially if you have a weird prefix!
