Comments:
Another fun WPX. This contest was very much like last years
contest for me from a propagation standpoint but if anything 15 meters
was even worse. Without 15 meters I just do not work much DX from
this location. 40 and 20 meters just do not produce much runable DX
for me - maybe if I had some bigger antennas on 20 or if I was closer
to Europe or something. I was sure that 15 meters was going to bust
wide open to Europe on Sunday - and it did get very close but it just
did not quite make it. There was an hour or two where the EA and CT
stations were quite strong but there were not many on and the opening
did not extend into the rest of Europe.
For the first time I really tried to operate this contest by watching
the points per QSO rate and not just the QSO rate. As a result I
improved my points per QSO average over last year. I operated the
first 11.5 hours before taking an off-time.4
I did have some fun on 40 meters working quite a few VK/ZL stations.
Overall the low bands were very good - 80 meters sounded great
on Saturday night but the static made it difficult going but
the signals were very good.
And now for all the numbers .........................
