Mixed bag results here, easily worked distant stations like K8TVD 
EN91, VE3ZV EN93, VE2DSB FN35, K4QI FM06 - BUT could not work nearby 
grids. No FN41. Heard KA2LIM FN12 but couldn't get his attention. 
Grid map almost completely barren locally to my immediate north, 
northwest, and west. Very discouraging results, 41 QSOs and only 15 
grids. I have to Rant about something now: Would you guys that are in 
the habit of working you-know-who in FN31 and then refuse to work the 
rest of us PLEASE Re-consider this habit? Keep it up and you will 
succeed in driving the rest of us off the air. Then when activity 
gets even worse you can pat yourself on the back! Likewise working 
only K1WHS in FN43 or only WA2FGK in FN21 is a recipe for killing all 
other activity in FN43 and FN21. Eventually when the only one left 
gives up because he can't work his own grid anymore you'll see what's 
happening. GET IT? THANKS!
