[SOC] Pretty Good Conditions on 80m

[David Ring]

Pretty good conditions on 80 meter CW - lots of strong EU signals.

I couldn't resist firing up the phoney microphoney SSB radio - and i
worked Larry, VQ9LA on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, then I went
down and listened to the DX contest.

I just hunted around for the countries I needed - or if I heard
someone really trying to work DX and getting no calls.

I worked LY2IJ Latvia, 4Z5LA Israel, H7/K9GY  Nicaragua, UU5WW,
Ukraine.  and UA6MF, European Russia.

That's about it.  Wall to Wall CW signals!

The most difficult to work was the H7/K9GY - tons of stations were
calling him.  It seems that the weaker stations are easier for some
reason - no competition.

How'd you guys and gals do?
