Another "SUPERB" RAC Contest.
I had planned to work this contest in both modes but after I found the
conditions with lots of QRN on 75/80 and 160 Meters I decided to stick
with SSB only. I really didn't have much luck on Friday evening/night
as there was a lot of QRN static crashes with the major weather system
moving through.
I had forgotten to look on 40 down in the area below 7.1 MHz so I
missed a few VE stations there. I finally caught up with it on
Saturday and made a few contacts split but not many and there were
many stations there but they were not listening up. I think since
out of Canada stations are not worth much for points they just didn't
set up to listen up. I even worked a few split on 20 meters as there
were quite a few stations working below the USA phone band and again
not many listening up.
I had most of my luck on 20 meters and it didn't seem to matter which
way the beam was pointed NW or NE they called from all directions and
I called CQ more than I usually do in a contest.
Saturday was really good compared to Friday night but 160 just didn't open up
for me toward the end of the contest.
I like this contest when it is between the Christmas and New Year holidays.
It makes a good reason to say "Happy New Year" on every contact.
ICOM 756PROII, Ameritron AL-1200, HyGain TH11DX, Dipoles on 40 & 80, Double
Bazooka on 160, and trusty Writelog doing the logging
