Stan, at least I will be able to work you. Not being able for you to work DX when many are calling (some for a new one) and the band is wide open to EU, is not only embarrassing but a real let down for the EU stations hearing you well. I have thought in personal protest to enter the contest and work only EU using a CQ TEST EU. But that will only make W/VE mad at me.
