Comments:

In a word, PAINFUL.  

- 20 died in about 30 minutes from the east.  Why did I stay for 1 hour?

- 40 was long from the beginning.  Europe was 30db - 40db over and that were
the Hams below the broadcast stations.

- 75 good, but typical Saturday night 75 mtr QSOs going on everywhere.
Nothing but Pig Farmers.

Heard but missed:  AL, UT, WV
Missed: ME, VT, KY, SC, AR, NM, IA, MO, ND, SD and all Canadian provinces
except for VE7.

Strongest signals:  KA9FOX, W9RE, NR5M

Question: Why have the Sprint suggested frequencies not taken advantage of
the new priviledges?  Can't SSB Sprint get moved down the bands a bit on 40
and 75 for the next time?

73,
