Number of QSO listed: 21

I tried with many stations beyond my normal range and struck out on all 
attempts. K3SK was tried on Q65 for a few minutes. KB8VAO on CW and 
K8TQK on CW.  Nothing heard other than a few meteors. I never did run 
into KO4YC.  W8ZN said I was the weakest that he has ever heard me. I 
must admit that signals on that path were pretty poor. SSB would have 
been almost impossible.  Still, VE3DS was booming in here and he runs 
rather low power, We switched to SSB and had a nice chat.  I figured 
that things might be good that way, but nothing else was heard.

Of course, the midwest was still swimming in tropo as the high pressure 
system is rather stuck there and not moving, just rotating a bit.It 
might go on for another two days!!  Things in the North were not so hot. 
It would be nice to hear some reports on what was worked!!!
