12/15/2008 | N5VU Band conditions? What band conditions? For the first 24 hours I managed to work 10 stations as a Search & Pounce (S&P). I thought, "Well, I guess I'll be submitting 10 Qs this year." Wah-Lah! two openings, Florida nad Colorado. Finally ended up with 145 total. Most all were CW. Hopefully, next year will be better. 73 & God Bless, Marcel -- N5VU
