> Even though no one was sending CW, I still had a blast. Conditions were
> interesting. Nothing at all on 10m and very little on 15 where I started.
Then I
> don't know what happened, but I have never heard 40m go dead during a
domestic
> contest like it did Saturday evening. Every one was forced to 80 and
contesters
> were worked all the way up to 3.935. The normal 80 meter crowd actually
seemed
> to co-operate with the contesters (a little).
> Went to bed early Sat night and still needed 8 mults. Picked up NE, VO1,
VE2,
> VE4, and UT early Sunday morning, before 18:00 but still needed ND, KL7,
and NT.
> Spent all day Sunday beaming N and NE with no success. Then KL7J and VY1MB
> showed up on 20m with big pile-ups around 23:00. They were very weak here
in the
> mid-west and seemed to be working only west coast and northern stations.
But
> after a while the signals built up enough for me to crack the pile ups
with my
> KW. Worked VY1MB at 00:01 and finally got KL7J at 00:24. This was a little
> strange since I had worked a number of very loud VE7's while beaming NW
during
> the afternoon.
> Resigned myself that a sweep was still not to be since I had not heard ND
all
> weekend, so went to 40M for the best rate I could get. Then at almost
01:00 AI�Q
> called in from ND for the sweep. I ranted and raved so much that N�UD
called me
> next for two ND's in a row. WOW. Ended up working 4 ND stations in the
last 2
> hours. This was fun.
> Tnx to all for the Q's. I had the same number of Q's as I did on CW.
