    Between the Texas QSO party cw ops and the RTTY contesters, the lower portions of the bands are very lively this morning.

    Yes, but come 00:01z Monday (8:01PM EDT Sunday), you'll be able to hear a pin drop. ;)

    Then explain how I'm working VK, ZL KH2, KL7, KH6, and JA on 10m, with others calling those stations at the same time.

    Well, it's been a fun time on 10 & 15 today. Quite a number of surprises today. A VU2, a couple of A6s, 2 stations from Guam, 1 or 2 Greek stations, and quite a number of JAs. Only one 1 BY, however. Had to really work for that one. I "cheated" a bit by using the 15m beam. I feel so dirty..... ;)

    Last night 40m was wall to wall. Picked up a few stations on 80m last night as well. It's a little tough to make 80m QSOs with 100 watts with the band still a bit noisy. CQWW SSB later this year should prove to be easier.

    I had to give up about 45 minutes ago. The back and shoulders were starting to ache. I was still copying a KH2 and a number of JAs fairly well on 15m, even on the wire antennas.

    I might go back and check on 40 & 80 later tonight.

    Finally got on and worked a few. VK on 10M with a wire antenna and 5W...not too bad.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
