Comments:
Big jump from all previous years, in terms of claimed score and contact totals.
I probably didn't push 10M as hard as it could go, but that band didn't seem to
have much spark from this far out west. All the other bands were quite good.
40M was fairly good to NA with the occasional DX station worked, but not much
from EU heard on the modest antennas here.
Surprised myself by tripling any previous 80M point totals, though it was all
domestic activity. Participation on 80M was not what I hoped for, but still
worth being there during the first session. The third session ought to have
provided plenty of activity, but I heard only several already-worked stations
and few new ones.
Had higher points/Q in 2004 with low power, so the solarmax effect is not fully
engaged this year... I still believe the best conditions of Cycle 24 were last
year (but certainly not for 2012 Makrothen).
Closed the third session on 20M then 15M during the final three hours, and 15M
was superior with a very nice EU run all ranging from 7,000 to 9,500 points
apiece.
Happy thanksgiving to my fellow VEs. A fun Makrothen and now two turkey dinners
(today and tomorrow) makes this a very good long weekend north of the 49th.
