Comments:
My second WPX contest from NA-008. This year had only a brief opening on 15m
and nothing on 10m.The night is largely gone, so 40m was never in play. The
propagation gods did not smile upon me, and by late Saturday afternoon I had to
admit my goal of besting last years 555 qsos recorded was not going to be
achieved.So, I decided to make as many people happy as I could by giving them
the unexpected VY0 mult. I was only able to call cq successfully for short
periods before getting muscled out. Well, if you are going to contest with low
power and simple antennas, then the high bands must be in play for you to be
successful. Lessons learned for ops at 80N; 1) Plan your contest 2) throw
away the plan. Thanks to all who worked to pull me out of the noise!
