... There were too many ops making what sounded like HI POWER multi contacts ...
I am quite proud of how stations acted out here on the West Coast. I mean, we have the largest potential for problems, since we have the largest number of hams compared to anywhere else in the U.S. Yes, the FM birds were busy ... and I even could call one particular pass a little chaotic (grin) ... but, overall, common sense and reasonable operating techniques prevailed.

Uh Oh... East Coast/West Coast... FIGHT!!! :) (Just kidding)
I managed to make my contact from the Kansas City area on the 4am pass on SO-50 (as NX0U). Still a bit chaotic, but I did 'cheat' by leaving my handheld plugged into external power to be a full 5w out. :)
