Comments:
Only had a limited time to operate on Sunday afternoon, so I decided to go High
Power for once. I figured I'd be able to run stations and maximize my score.
Starting at about 1815z, I found 20m very long already so the rate wasn't very
good. I jumped to 15m and then 20m scanning the band for mults & Qs. around
2045z, I moved down to 40m. Managed a good run there for about half an hour.
Amazing that the band went long by 2300z. Hunted for mults for another hour and
then finished up on 80m.
Managed to work all but 10 mults. Biggest surprise was working VY1JA easily on
20m.
Although I wasn't on for Saturday at all, based on conditions Sunday, this as
got to be some of the worst conditions for a Phone SS in a long, long time. I
can't wait for the sunspots to return.
