Boy Amen to that Rag,  last nite and this morning were fantastic 
conditions, 
the band was wall to wall with EU stations,  but very few could hear KH7
calling,  not only me but the 2 or 3 other KH6 that were on. 
The roar of local QRM must have been to much,  could have put Z 31 in
many many logs,  but no ears on the other end. 
Apparently US stations are in the same fix,  there were untold US stations
calling cq with two and 3 DX stations copyable under them. 
Holding the freq calling endless cq waiting for 599 signal to answer 
sure makes
for a dull contest.
