[UK-CONTEST] propagation SSB CC

[g3pdh]

Does anyone have an explanation of last nights 80m CC conditions. From this
area (Norwich) the band was just mushy noise with a few signals, mainly
continental and a few G's. More noticeably the few G's heard could hardly
hear me, as if one way paths existed, and despite this some were still
exchanging relatively high numbers. It would be interesting to see some
analysis of this phenomena as to whether it was propagation, antennae etc.
All stations in our group did poorly despite running decent rigs and full
size dipoles. Such conditions hardly seem to reflect text book theory.
