Comments:
I don't generally operate phone contests. After getting on to work friends, the
outstanding conditions were addictive. With the exception of 160m. Whenever we
on the West Coast can get a small run going on 10m into Europe, conditions are
definitely great. Working deep into all part of Asia, 3 hours after local
sunset, on 15m is wonderful. And, getting calls from Scandinavia and UA3-4 at
that time is amazing.
The multitude of JA 5 watt QRPers was incredible too. Not to mention the VKs
with four-letter suffixes running 10 watts on 10m. Brought back memories of
previous sunspot highs.
The casual non-contesters in the US were really tenacious about working other
US stations. At first I ignored their calls. Then, out of the need to copy
the DX stations in the pileups, I started working them just to clear the
frequency. Big mistake. That just reinforced those listening to jump in as
well. In the end I went back to ignoring the US callers. Then they were
really persistent. All in good fun and no harm in folks operating their
station!
Thanks for the QSOs.
