Comments:

It was great to hear and work quite a few PVRCers and locals in my area.  I just wish I heard more locals on more bands.  Somehow I missed quite a few extra QSOs there.



I  had  to  quite  a little early,  since  the  loud  static  crashes  were  getting  to  me  and  most  had  a  tough  time  hearing  me  on  80m  and  160m.   I  really  need  to  improve  my  80m  and  160m  antennas.   Last  year  I  did  much  better  (250  QSOs)  and  I  only  spent  an  extra  2  hours,  so  the  bands were  worse  than  last  year.   I  had  a  great  run  on  20m  and  even  did  pretty  well  on  80m  for  a  short  while.   I  was  surprised  how  many  weak  stations  I  pulled  out  on  80m.   The  static  crashes  were  intense  on  80m  and  160m  though.   It  was  tough  pulling  out  quite  a  few  stations, but somehow I managed.  ;-)



My  NA DX  worked  were  HQ9R,  KP2M,  and  XE1KK.

Hopefully the August one will have better conditions.
