Highlights: 10M and 15M
I intended to put in a full-time effort, but the lower bands just weren't up to
snuff on Saturday night, so I took more breaks than planned. Despite flux
ranging up to 141 on Saturday, aurora=5 and a C-class flare meant the high
bands didn't open to Europe. The only Eu's I worked all weekend were a pair on
40M Saturday night.
Just 10.5 hours worked, producing a rather anemic score. Last year, I worked
NAQP and RU and still had 9.5 hours in RU with more DX worked than this year.
Had fun with short runs on the high bands, though production wasn't high enough
to keep me in the chair for long stints.
Always enjoy Roundup. Looking forward to next year already.
