Topband: Not so good in the contest last night

[Tod Olson]

I may have worked only 10 S&P last night. When it is a struggle to work
WY,UT,MT and WA from ID you know something is not right.

I did manage one NY, IN, OH, IA, and ND but could not even hear the ID
station that worked the MT station just before me.

I complement the NY station [ note I am not using calls because the entry
period is not over ] who worked hard to get me into his log. I was copying
him better than he was copying me.

Like Herb, I tried diligently to work W8RA with no success. He may have
had some noise problems because the WX from mid-US to the East Coast was
very unsettled with lots of lightning I think.
