Greetings from Rarotonga,
 
Started about 1030 last night and stuck it out for over 3 hours, with
lots 
of QRN and poor signal levels.  Nearly everyone worked other than west
coast 
was below the noise, and both sides struggled.  About 40 US q's.  
 
Tonight, I'll be E51A again, and will CQ high in the band, trying to find
a 
clear spot.  S&P has been nearly useless so far on 160, with this lousy
call 
and hardly anyone listening this direction.
 
Don't know how long I'll stick it out, as I am seriously sleep-deprived
and 
we have to pack everything tomorrow for a late night flight.  Decent
condx 
for a change would sure help.
 
Hope to work a bunch of you tonight.
 
73,
