Comments:
This contest was a kind of a roller-coaster of the propagation. The disturbed
conditions dominated on Saturday and very few NA stations were logged. 15m did
not produce a single JA until 1230Z which is well after the sunset in JA. The
total of 6 JA QSOS on 15m was not what I could have expected.
On Sunday morning 15m sounded a bit better and I was able to run some JA for
2.5 hours starting from 07Z. Later around 12Z 20m started to open into NA so I
moved there for more than 2.5 hours. Then 15m was already rocking and I moved
there around 1430Z. The NA run on 15m lasted 3 hours before I had to start
S&P. After this the propagation took a deep dive never to recover on any
bands.
Everything worked fine during the contest but my setup was still not very
flexible for real SO2R operating. I tried a few QSOs with the second radio on
Sunday but as I had no amplifier connected to it I could not fully utilize it.
It is nice to notice that this is my best WPX SSB score breaking the 1000
prefixes and there is still a big room for improvement. Thanks for the QSOs!
The log will be uploaded to LoTW. I can't wait for the CW leg so I hope to see
you there.
