[CVCC] ARRL Contest comments

[Ronnie Bolton]

If you subscribe to the ARRL's email Contest Update, then my apologies for
the duplicate.  I thought these comments were interesting about activity.

First the 160M: 

The recent ARRL 160-Meter Contest <http://www.arrl.org/160-meter>  was
negatively influenced by a major storm weather system in the middle of the
US. Some participants noted that noise levels were elevated, masking any
signals that might be present, and reducing their ability to work distant
multipliers.

 

And second, the 10M:

 

Comments from Dan, K7SS, operating in the ARRL 10-Meter Contest
<http://www.arrl.org/10-meter>  from Seattle: "Loud GA/LA opening. At least
one op in California had a 190 hour into W8/W9, then poof!"

>From Bob, W7YAQ:"Sounded like the Florida QSO Party from here in Oregon."
