WAE SSB Early Report

[N1API]

Well at the start of the contest 20 meters is dead to Europe and so is 15. We had an X-Class Flare yesterday, a couple M Class Flares and a number of C Class Flares today. This weekend may be a wash out if these conditions continue.

Well here is where I wish I had 40 meters. I just looked at the spots and all the European Stations are down there and even on the 20 meter beam I can hear many of them.

I expect 20 meters during the day to be tough Europe going by past experience. I was hearing a few Europeans but they weren't that strong. 15 meters may be the money band if it opens. If not then I may struggle to break 150 contacts.

We'll see time will tell. I'll know by Sunday evening and you'll see the results here.
