Comments:
Merged comments from Rebar and I:
We treated this as a good practice session and tune-up for upcoming contests.
It also allowed us to introduce several new ops to our station as well as to WW
DX contesting. We worked mostly S&P with the occasional CQ that yielded good
rates.
I was only at the shack for about 6 hours (Sunday morning), and operated
probably about an hour or two. That's all I wanted to operate, given that I'll
be focusing on Sweepstakes. K1TW did most of the operating Sunday morning and
got a good sense of what European propagation is like from W6! He broke
through a large pileup on TU2CI on the first call.
We had a reasonably good opening on 15m to Europe on Saturday morning. An EA
station was our last 15m EU on Sunday morning at 17Z. EU on 20m was the usual:
we could hear them, but they mostly couldn't hear us. It was challenging to be
heard through the east coast wall and the general QRM on 20m. We had 51 EU
contacts in total across all the bands.
At times, it seemed that South America focused on Europe, so it was more
difficult than expected to raise them for contacts. 10m was open nicely both
days to South America.
Things worked well for us into JA and Oceania.
See you in Sweepstakes! We hope everyone checks 15m in Sweepstakes. Stateside
propagation was wide open on 15m in CQWW SSB.
