This year: SFI=86 A=14 K=2
Last year: SFI=80 A= 2 K=2
Did not think I'd get even close to last year, because Europe never really
opened here. Just the big guns, and no more. Very poor on 20M over the pole.
Still, I bumped up my personal best Q total by a good margin (932 vs. 847 in
2009), and was just five mults shy of the previous best last year (126).
718 out of 932 Qs were three-pointers. Couldn't land more 5-point EUs...
thought it was bad last year, when I stayed on 20M until 0500z digging out the
occasional EU with flux at just 80. This year, I had to move to 40M in daylight
and the lack of Europe on both 40M and 20M left a big hole in the final score --
the usual West Coast 50N knee-whacking handicap. Gimme distance-based scoring
any time.
10M was open nicely to much of North America for a while -- tripled last year's
QSO and mult totals on that band.
15M was about the same as last year for Qs, but mults were down quite a bit
with only three European stations worked during a brief window at around
1340z.
40M was great to anywhere that didn't have a polar path. Result: Qs and mults
set new high-water marks.
No JAs on 80M, but the band was in good shape -- in the 1000z hour, VK4CT
sounded like he was across town.
Thanks for the contacts.
