Alan....since you asked.
Participation in the QSO Party becomes more difficult due to a lack of
participants.
Since the change to all modes on the same weekend the CW types are hard
pressed to find contacts.
This in addition to the W6 CA contest going on at the same time. The bands
were loaded with W6's all weekend.
I noticed that I only heard and worked one (1) W6 in the party.
Conditions on 40 and 80 were excellent Saturday night but very few stations
on board. The old standbys W5KL, W4YE, W0US etc were there as usual.
W2MM was not heard here nor did any other locals here work them.
The very least we should do is go back to a single mode per contest weekend
as it was for so many years with success.
