TR4W stopped keying the WKUSB in St.
Croix for some unknown reason so,

KP2/K6VVA didn't happen in the SNS. 
My CQ WPX CW plans as KP2CW may now be
down the tubes unless I can figure out
what Murphy did ;-(

Congrats to W1FJ
on breaking the 40 QSO barrier, and
nice to see Andy/N2NT join us again,
but apologies to Jim/W5JAW for things
locking up here momentarily during a
QSO.  Fun to work John/BAI from PJ4 on
2 bands.

20m was rockin' except most
folks are still afraid to go below
14.040 or above 14.045 for apparently
strange reasons.  I was humping and
stroking until the QSY to 40m.

40m
was not good for me tonight.  My
suspicions are that the S9 plus 20dB
TWO Khz WIDE signal that is on every
Thursday night during the NS is an
intentional jammer.  That is really
obnoxiously irritating.  But once
again, I found folks also still afraid
to go above 7.040 and the #&^! log jam
on 40m was ridiculous.
 Really got
hammered there tonight.

N6RO pegged
it right for us Left Coasters on
160m/80m:  Humbug.  I heard and called
many Midwest & East/SouthEast mults on
80m but nobody could hear me. I
cudda-shudaa stayed on 40m when it
thinned out a bit.  Wish you Midwest
&
East/SouthEast folks would turn your
80m yagis out this way {SIGH}.

A real
close horse race between N6RO, W0YK &
myself tonight.  I'm feel like Locust
Meat sandwiched in tightly between the
RO & YK slices of bread :^)

Missed
working a lot of the NS regulars
tonight, which I hope will change next
week. Hey, here's a novel concept for
the next NS:

S-P-R-E-A-D O-U-T
S-P-R-E-A-D O-U-T S-P-R-E-A-D O-U-T

73 & Tnx for the Q's &
Mults...
