K5ZD Score
CQ 160m Phone
Single Op, High Power
210 QSOs = 794 points x ( 47 states/prov + 27 dx) => 58,756 points
Operating time about 5 hours. Mostly S&P. Was fun to dig through the QRM
for DX calling CQ but not getting any answers due to the endless CQing.
How can I work 27 countries in this QRM madness and never hear a station in
Wisconsin? Some kind of cheese social going on down at the VFW hall?
Never could get KZ5MM to hear me so his aligator status is confirmed.
Surprised at several times each night to hear K1ZM calling CQ with big EU
pile-ups that he couldn't seem to hear very well. Normally Jeff is working
all kind of stuff that I can't hear a peep. But just the fact that he had
EU pile-ups means he must have been REAL LOUD over there!
Beverage was broken the first night (when I worked most of the DX). An
extra 20-30 db of rejection of W3/W4 signals really helps with hearing the
Europeans.
