74% of QSOs via CQ runs. 461 QSOs after the first day. Wasted way too much
time tuning for DX and mults the second night. Saturday night was not very
productive.
Rates good on Friday night, but very poor the second night. Could never get a
consistent good rate going on Saturday. West USA stations were mostly weak,
and not a lot of them heard. Activity seemed down this year. Decided to call
it quits and not stay up late through Saturday night. Poor rates, and very few
DX stations heard made for not much fun.
Very poor DX conditions - much worse than last year. No EU heard. Last year,
ran low power and worked many EU stations. DX worked: 6Y3M, C6ANM, NP4A, PJ2T,
PZ1AA, V31YN, ZF2KE, CE1/K7CA, KV4FZ, KH6CC, XE2S, HD2A, NP2X, XE2X, and
VP2V/K3LR. Many of these stations seemed to be unusually weak. No DX heard
during sunrise grayline on Saturday morning. Did not bother to get up and
listen during sunrise grayline on Sunday.
Worked all 48 contiguous states plus DC and KH6. Never heard KL7.
Thanks for the Qs and Ms.
73,
Gary
