Comments:
Another fun 1x1 run in the books. Thanks to all who joined in this year's
event!
I was K4O last year, too. Although condx seemed similar, I think activity was
up a notch, particularly on SSB where it seemed like a bottomless pit. Latin
America really showed up in force (gracias!), as did SP and most of Europe for
that matter. The biggest surprise was a VU on 15.
Being the only Single-Op of the 7 1x1s, I chose to stick to the higher volume
bands of 40-20-15 to maximize exposure. I see now that the other 6 1x1s had
some success on 10M on the 2nd day, so I hope nobody missed only the
"O".
1x1 stations were encouraged to run, run, run; thus we eliminated the
multiplier from their scoring. Just a simple 1 point per QSO score.
QRM from the SP RTTY test on 40 was a concern going in, but I found plenty of
FQP activity above 7035 where the mobile window ends and there seemed like
minimal RTTY activity in the 7035-7050 segment.
We've already received over 350 logs and we expect hundreds of 1x1 sweeps.
We'll get the word out elsewhere, but if you swept all 7 1x1s, hang tight and
we will e-mail you a .PDF certificate in a few weeks once we merge and sort the
7 logs.
Thanks again to everyone who made the time to get on this year!
