The bands were pretty good (20m was pretty dang crowded!), the operator skill and courtesy was good, b... Read More -

The level of participation was very encouraging - CW is not ready to be declared dead yet! My best effort ever in SS - worked 79 sections, only missing NL this time. New antennas definitely made the difference. 15 meters was wide open on Saturday aft... Read More
