          Soapbox :
  Conditions to Europe up this far north were very  spotty, and
   poor especially on Sunday morning. The QSB was horrendous,
   and at times surrealistic.  Also at times, there were no signals
   at all showing on the display! I got that sinking feeling
  more than once that something on my end had failed, especially
   with the band noise being so incredibly low. However, owing
   to the ever increasing RTTY activity, I was able to work 63
  unique Countries in my 28 hours on air time with my LP
  sttion.  The SDR spectrum scope really makes a huge difference
   on S&P, which I did a lot of in this contest.  On 15 meters,
  where there were never more than 3 or 4 signals, I was able
  to see them and pounce accordingly. Only 1 or 2 countries
  were worked on my CQ's.  Still, I had a wonderful time. 
  Thnks to all of the NA stations that came back to my CQ's with
   my rather mundane K7 call sign prefix.
