Comments:
Thanks to N4RV for the use of the station. I've known Jack since our W3AU days
in the 70s. This station has been my home away from home for years.
This is my first serious CW SS since the mid 70s, and is a personal best. I'll
need to find that SS Award from K4VX in perhaps 1974 to see what I did.
My goal was 1000 QSOs, and I sent #1000 just as my time expired. There were a
few dupes included, so the claimed shown here is a bit less.
There were lots of stations to be worked, especially in 9 and 0 call areas. The
bands seemed to have long skip all weekend. I don't recall 9 and 0 stations
being so loud. I'll count them up later, but I believe the percentage of 1 and
2 call area stations is lower than normal. The New York City metro area is only
200 miles from the QTH in Northern VA. So, perhaps this flux level just doesn't
give the required close-in skip to work a jillion 2s on 40 and 80.
