Comments:
I always enjoy the RAC contests and this one was no exception. However, I found
band conditions to be terrible for anything above 20-metres. I didnâ??t hear
anything at all on 10 and although 15 was surprisingly good in the
mid-afternoon, there were only a couple of stations there calling CQ, so it
does pay to go and listen every now and then! As for 20, it was great on
Saturday evening (0000Z July 1st), but it seemed to become quite erratic in the
afternoon on Sunday. Late in the afternoon a very long skip developed and
Ontario just disappeared for me, but the west and even Europe off the back of
my beam came booming in. Go figure! All things considered, it was an
excellent contest, BUT, again, if it were not for our American friends, the QSO
numbers would be way down. Just as an example, of the 871 contacts that I made,
45% were with Canadians; 53% with Americans and 2% with Europeans.
