Anyone have a clue as to why 80m was so bad this year
and last year?  Is it just that people are avoiding
it?  If so that's a real shame.  Could have used the
QSO's.  Many times had to abandon the band due to no
replies to CQ's.  

160m was great for the activity hour.  Worth adding if
you don't have it.

I have used the fancy MFJ voicekeyers with no
problems.  Delays are adjustable.  Then again, radios
are also adjustable for other things.  This contest is
not a super heavy duty voice keyer test, like VHF
contests, where you tend to talk to yourself.  Didn't
go through many CQ's without a response.
