It was a good year for my first SOAB entry in CQWW SSB! Although it is
impossible to compete with E7DX or LX7I it was fun to go beyond 4000 QSOs and
finish with a new DL all-time high. 40m was frustrating with the CW-tuned Yagi
and I missed a lot of DX there. However, 10 & 15m made up for everything and I
rarely found some time to use the 2nd radio. On Saturday I left 10m early in
the afternoon just to check the run rate on 15m. I never returned and enjoyed
my best ever Westcoast run from DL, including one 200+ hour, on a clear
frequency.
CU next time!
