Thanks Mark! In spite of what is said, some of the reflector group, not everybody is like KC1XX, or K3LR, where being a contesting machine rules above all else. I've had times where I've quit operating during a contest, because it was not fun anymore. And the comment made about how after 5 reapeats you get a meaningless "59" report may be true. But conversely there are many noncontester who will not even work you if you aren't armchair copy. Oh well, I doubt I changed anybody's mind. Still, I wanted to speak mine.
I wish the high bands would open up again for AM. The K index is at 3, and the A index is at 26. Pre Auroral. I'd love to do some 6m stuff right now. I just checked, and there's nothing on 6. I wonder, I've read that doppler distortion trashes AM signal during an Aurora. Have you ever tried AM during an Aurora? I know a lot of times SSB is pretty nasty during Au, but is AM still workable?
