Comments:
As others have noted, 40 and 80 went "long" very early. That meant that East
Coast signals were strong on both bands in California, but locals weren't very
strong at all.
20 meters was total bedlam, again, with super-strong signals occupying every
1.5 kHz. Forget about 2.4 kHz spacing; 1.5 kHz was normal this weekend. The
wonderful thing about the Orion receiver is that selectivity can be cranked
down to 1.5 kHz and it's still possible to copy people without any problem.
The signals on 15 meters were strong, but very sparse. Unfortunately, I don't
think too many people realized 15 was wide open during the daylight hours.
Here's my rate sheet for the contest.
