Comments:

 

What a strange event this was!  Fairly good start (for me) on 20m for about
an hour plus....and then it just went south...and everyone else was north.

 

Couldn't move to 40 until about 5 local but by then, skip was short (and
never really got long the rest of the contest) and NOISEY.

 

Used a laptop (ham computer died in middle of CW NAQP) so the soundcard
sucks and dragged out the MFJ Voicekeyer which Still Worked.

 

WAS was missed - no WV.  Not too many VEs in the log either.  What a strange
event this was.

 

Thanks to W6KY + K6AM for the sweeps in the bands.  Special thanks to Joe,
in OR for my non CA mult on 160...and on a 40m antenna so Joe had to work at
it.

 

WN6K, PAUL
