Good conditions in daylight from NJ. Icom 746Pro into a dipole in the attic. I wish I had the dipole up in Sweepstakes!

Heard & worked Europe in the morning, then the midwest, pacfic northwest, carribbean & South America. Band was dead for me locally, though.

Once the grey line passed me, it was just a tease. I could hear Alaska loud and clear, but couldn't get out to him.

There's always next year!
