Comments:

My goal was to double my NA Sprint Summer results of 52 QSO's, because
I was only on 20meters in the summer.  I have added antennas for 40 and
80 since then.

I had low expectations for 20, and wasn't too disappointed.  40 was OK
for the second hour.  At 0200z I had 44 Q's, and I thought I had a shot
at getting at least 90-100 QSO's.  I went on 80 and all I could work
was Calif.  I only worked about 5 on 80 and turned the radio off in
disgust.

I came back around 0330Z and still the stations in the midwest could
B A R E L Y hear me.

I know this is WAY off topic, but can somebody explain in 500 words or
less how condix could be so bad with K index of 0?

Mark me down for NOT having fun.  Looking forward to WPX RTTY next weekend.
I've sworn off of CW Sprints.
