What a surprise this weekend.  After Friday night with one CW contact I 
thought

I was going to be listening to a lot of white noise all weekend.  I delayed

going out to the shack on Saturday morning until 8 am and was totally 
surprised

at the activity.  I figure I lost 1 1/2 hours.  Endless answers to my CQ's 
until

1:30 pm when the band shut down abruptly and only PY's and LU's coming 
through. 

I didn't hear any JA's or other Asia nor any Europe other than two EA 
stations. 

Pacific is real tough for me as most signals are low angle and I have 14,000

foot mountains five miles west of me (Mt Whitney)resulting in one VK, one 
ZL,

and three KH6's.



It was absolutely amazing to see all the signals on the P3 disappear in a

matter of minutes around 1:30 pm leaving a few very strong PY and LU 
spikes.  



I missed two states, WY and KS.  I have no idea why I missed KS.



The 98 mults break down to 28 DX and 70 W/VE/XE.



73, Kurt W6PH
