I always have fun in this contest. One of these years, George will
want to operate the contest himself, and I'll have to find another
station...
The sporadic E propagation was simply spectacular this year. The
last year I had a 200 hour in this contest was 2002, and this year I
nearly had two in a row. Friday night was fantastic, with over
750 QSOs and 30 states in the log before propagation closed for
the night. I did not work my first non-XE DX QSO until Saturday, and
even then the selection was thin: a few Caribbean stations in
single-hop or double-hop range, a scattering of southern South
Americans, and a couple of South Africans. I never heard a VK/ZL
station, unfortunately. Almost all of my QSOs in North America were
single-hop Sporadic E contacts. I did make one QSO with a station in
Massachusetts, a distance outside the normal single-hop range. Inside
the single-hop range, the only multipliers missed were DC, MB, and SK.
I made QSOs in 35 of the 36 clock hours I was on the air.
I worked a LOT of 2x3 US call signs this weekend, many with the more
recently issued prefixes like KI4. Too many were not using phonetics
yet, but it was great to hear new call signs on the air, and I hope
they decide to try other phone contests, too.
