QRL? Eleven times the first thing I heard was CQ TEST on the frequency we were
using instead of asking first.
Not a single KP4. Never heard a VE5 and missed the NL mult....very weak and
did not get a window to call him when he peaked. Sure would be nice to have
more DX in this contest. Even the "easy ones" were missing simply because no
one got on the air. Very little activity from the UK. M5O was always there.
Frustrating on a crowded band to try to find some DX in the DX window when US
stations are calling CQ there. Hard to find and hear the DX outside of that
window because of so many loud W/VE stations. Perhaps this should be taken
into consideration next year.
Thanks for the Q's....especially the patience. The band was not all that good,
especially the second night.
Next weekend we will go to the smaller elements. If we are able to stay on the
air next weekend due to a possible stormy forecast....see you on 10.
