> Band seemed pretty good Friday evening, strong signals and I got a few

> Saturday night conditions seemed poorer, with the exception of CS2C

> hear any other Eu.  Sunday morning was very slow, with no JA heard.
> 
> I worked the contest remotely from here in Irvine using my station near

> My 2nd RTTY contest, both this weekend. However, my rig died while listening 
> after an hour break. Argh. I swapped in the backup rig and was back up for 
> the afternoon run.
>  Also worked the 160M contest a bit the past two nights although I don't 
> have a 160 antenna. Used the tuner to tune up what little I have, none of it 
> very high. TNX go out to N6AA whom I called for about an hour before he 
> finally copied me. I guess conditions had to be just right for my wet noodle 
> to get through. Especially barefoot!
