[SECC] K4BAI Claimed Score Nov 2019 NA Sprint SSB

[Dave Edmonds]

The 40m band during the SSB  Sprint was nothing but mysterious! John was
correct. There were few sigs on the band when I started at 0000z. I kept
working the Swamp Foxes in SC. On 40m I heard K7RL really loud and then
more western US stations booming into SC. I heard KH6XS Bill very loud, but
I couldn't break the west coast wall. Later more western stations were even
louder. After a few hours, more station around the US were heard.
