Jeff:

Thanks for the update.  Hope it's bodes better for FQP than my listening 
a day or two before the MiQP.  I observed conditions which were "not 
quite as open" 20 metres in the evening, and short skip was great on 40 
metres as late as 2200Z.  But, as we know, during MiQP, short skip 
hardly appeared on 40, 20 was very long, and there was a definite skip 
zone on 80 as early as 0200Z.  These observations were for a station 
with a low wire antenna.

CU on FQP as WQ8RP/TB (also operating QRP TTF - so you might have to 
listen hard for my 4.9 watts to a wire antenna!)
