Comments:
Sure glad this was JUST the ARRL DX Contest, because I can't imagine these
conditions in CQWW or WPX where everyone works everyone. Even with half the
world on 10m, there was no room for this LP boy on 20m.
Best ARRL DX Contest ever, personal high for contacts, mults and score.
Thought I might be able to exceed the W4 SOAB LP Assisted record if the
conditions held and I was ahead of that Saturday night. Going to be some
amazing scores from folks. This is one happy camper.
Way too many neat things to mention and the DX was amazing My previous mult
high was 336, and this time I ended with 411. And, the score doubled. Some of
best DX included Sierra Leone, East Malaysia, Indonesia, Bahrain, Kaliningrad,
Kazakhstan, Armenia, Dodecanese, Crete, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain,
Paraguay, Reunion and Guam. Others could be heard but the piles ere too big
for me. Another record for the station was working 104 JA's from
Georgia...love our salt water marsh.
I have never had more than one or two six band sweeps; but, this time I logged
nine...8P5A, P40L, PJ2T, V26M, VP2MLL, PJ4G, NP2X, KP2M and HK1NA on all bands.
Almost all contacts were S&P; however, I was able to run some to Japan and
snagged a 9K2 while running on 20m in heavy QRM. Best hour rate was 98. The
station worked great all weekend.
Thanks to the contest sponsors and everyone for the Q's and cu in WPX.
Best - Jere
N1MM, FT-1000MP Field, TH6-DXX and wires in the trees.
