actually think it is worse,
 but I don't have any hard statistics.

Hi All,

Well, one thing's for sure, I'm just glad that I did all of the prep work
over the past summer that I did, in anticipation of superior conditions this
past season! (I re-built my linear amplifier, strung up a second K9AY loop,
erected a 1300' Beverage,  installed a 3-element phased triangular "L"
array, among other things --- I was busy!).

Despite the less-than-stellar conditions, I still managed to go from 84, to
108 DXCC countries worked on the band, since the start of things in
September...I can only imagine how I may have fared had I NOT done all of
the groundwork in advance of the season that I did.

The XYL here is now talking about raking the lawn some coming weekend
soon...there go my radials! Alas & alak, the end is nigh...
