Default 3Y0X

It was sad to note that the Europeans have become as whiney and
outrageous an the North Americans. They may have even surpassed us
with their comments on the DX spots. The Russians were particularly
impatient.

Later in the evening the signals on 30 and 40 mts became quite good.
The operation on 30 meters went well, from this location. There were
a few UP Cops and the usual calls on frequency, but much less than I
expected.

Fourty meters was another story. Every lid and want-to-be came to the
show. It was interesting to note, though, that the signal got really
good about 0500 UTC, and much of the QRMing stopped. This leads me to
believe that most of the lids had to go to work the next day, or
passed out.

The heavy toned QRM on 40 meters last night is suspected to be from
some type of military operation in eastern Europe. I plotted all the
azimuths given on the spots last night, and it looks like this QRM was
coming from Nothern Russia. When it stopped around 0500 UTC, the 3YO
was as clear as a bell here.

The only other thing that I noted was that when the 3Y0 went to EU,
very few NA stations quit calling.
