Conditions were disturbed according to WWV mebbe that's what is required
for a clean sweep. Worked it backwards last two I need for the sweep were Mar
and NL
in that order !!
Great when the pile up can be used to YOUR advantage !! on several occasions I
asked qrx for
needed sections and le voila there they were, almost felt like cheating hi !
KH6 , KL7, UT , SF, 6 & 7 sections and a few others. For the most part even
though there was
always
someone calling it was difficult to get the rate much above 100 for any
sustained periods of time.
Not sure if there were any other VOs on , but saturday night family
committment... XYL's birthday
kept me busy and didn't get on until about 900 local time Sunday morning just
in time
to give K5ZD number 1 and his sweep, I figured with the number of qsos he had
at that time
without a VO that was a good omen . Only my second attempt , last year was
half hearted
95 % or more was CQing and never did have to S&P for any sections .
GREAT FUN !!
