Comments:
There is no location listed for DX, so I put myself in the Atlantic area since
that is the closest to where I was.
I was shooting for a triple-digit score but missed it by one mult and one Q.
But I'm really very thrilled with this score since I wasn't sure if anyone
would be able to hear me at all and it turned out that 8 guys did (N4AF, N4OGW,
K3TN, N4DW, KZ5D, N6RO, NO3M and PJ4/K4BAI). Special thanks to Ken for pulling
out my very weak sig in CA.
I expected 20 to be closed and 40 to be the money band but it was almost the
other way around. Thanks to a strong N4AF for being my only two-bander. I
should have also worked PJ4/K4BAI on 40 since he was pretty loud there, but
somehow i missed him. Except for 'BAI, Howie was the strongest followed by
K3TN. I heard lots of others but obviously I wasn't too strong so making it
through the NS wall was not real easy. I even heard a few whispers on 80 but I
didn't bother calling anyone.
Turns out that in late May, sunrise near Oslo where I was occurs at about 0200Z
(4 AM local), so it was light when the contest began. In the winter, though,
the NS will be many hours before sunrise.
I believe that this establishes a new all-time NS record for Norway. I predict
that it will last for some time.
It was great fun. Thanks to all!
73, Hal
