There was some "magic" in 160m propagaqtion, I checked many times and ALWAYS
heard W3LPL,K3LR and W1FJ very loud - all the time, only rarely others? There
was not significant variation in strength, but mostly no response to my CQ,
sometimes a semi-decent pileup. Once even one of those called in once more and
asked how is his signal ?! He told me I am loud there but almost the only one
on the band, so I do not know. In CW the variation in strength was significant
- even there were moments when no one at all was audible ?!?
Propagation was significantly better than in the CW part. 20m "lasted" almost 2
hours longer.
I was nicely surprised by 15m - it was sort of slow in saturday and everything
was comming from SA, so I moved back to 20m having only some 15 states, beeing
almost content it is all, but later it opened once more and after first day I
had 38 states, Sunday was even better, most of the stations came direct and
even a couple of W6&7 made it through. 829 QSO there was nice and unexpected
surprice. It also explains not so nice number of QSOs on 20m.
Overall I am happy with the score - much less than last year but much more than
2 years ago....
Thanks everyone for the QSO and hope to meet you once more in the next contest
