Comments:
You'd never know it was the nadir of the sunspot cycle. The bands were hopping
and there were many representative stations from EVERY multiplier location. I
think this was the easiest contest to get a clean sweep in many years. Lots of
stations in the assisted class (U); maybe I'll try it next year. Many of QRP
stations too; it was a challenge to pull some of them out through the noise
level with my single "good" left ear. I never heard any activity on 10 meters.
I'm looking forward to that band returning to play in a few years. I didn't
pay any attention to 160 meters. I'm sure the contest reflector
(CQ-Contest@contesting.com) will be replete with comments about how the CW
contest operators ignored the "band plan" and transmitted CW well up into the
RTTY and SSB sub-bands. It sure was crowded on 20/40 meters. Congratulations
to all the super operators who scored BIG in this one!
Best regards,
Arnie N6HC
