Regarding mentioning Callsigns of stations on here during Contests, it's not something I would normally do. However, I hadn't really considered it a problem, firstly because I'm not interested in entering . . . but mainly because lots of stations are posted on the DX Cluster anyway - not just their Callsigns, but their exact frequency too!
I think the fact that it's so easy for people to cheat these days is one of the reasons I'm not interested in entering Contests . . . I just use them as an opportunity to work lots of DX stations on Top Band that sadly don't normally come on the band. But coming back to Conditions . . . I couldn't copy a single NA station on Saturday night either. I also then realised that even the Europeans were way down on normal . . . Big signals from Germany, the Baltic States, etc, are normally peaking 40dB over S9 with me . . . but nobody was over +20dB ! That really is a LONG way down. Shame that propagation was so poor.
