Not great but better than last year :-)
I heard no one on 10. There were a few on 15 but no one working WFD. Didn't try 160, not sure if my tuner/ant will load on 160.
I worked all the VEs I heard: ON, QC, PE, AB.
I usually hear calls that I recognize from reading about them somewhere. This time I worked VE3PTA, who advertises all the time on KWARC.
Noticed a weird phenomenon: every now & then a set of small, evenly-spaced pulses would race across the 7300 spectrum display. I saw it on all bands. A while ago there was a discussion about something like this on one of the ham forums, where people said it looked like an ionosonde. The closest ionosonde I know of is at Alpena, MI.
