It sure is slow going.  I was really surprised to get called by a couple of
EA's last nite on 80.  CN was booming in as usual.

It is slow going in the contest with 100 watts to a vertical.  I was used to
running a kilowatt to the Force 12 at 82 feet and running a frequency.  It
is a humbling experience that teaches you patience.  I have an S9 noise
level here this morning.  But the A-Index is sitting at 25, also.  The Solar
Flux is at 83 and the K-Index is 2, which really does not correlate to at 25
on the A-Index.
