Very fun. Can't complain over all with pretty decent conditions on average.
First day was better than second. However, both days had their ups and downs.
Friday night started with a decent but not great 40M EU run. I could not
keep up with K1LZ on 40M. Between, Krassy, his antennas, and being much lower
in
New England Lattitude under disturbed conditions, it was just not going to
happen. Not surprisingly, I was a couple of hundred Qs behind Krassy already
by 0600Z.
But I decided to stay with the game plan despite the conditions. This
included
an 80M EU run at their sunrise which worked out very well. Then its work as
much EU as you can on 20 - 10. This actually worked pretty well on Saturday.
However Sunday was another story to EU. However Asia on 20M was fantastic. I
had the best contest Asia run I have ever had from this QTH. 2 hours of
JA, BY, UA0, YB, HL. Loads of mults. A great run. But then EU was going
nowhere on 20 or 15. 10M was totally dead. 20 and 15 did eventually slowly
start yielding EU but often at very low strength. The balance of the day
was a mix of US and EU and some SA mixed in.
At the end, it was a great outcome that I am very happy with.
The goal was 4000 Qs, 1200 Mults and 14 Million points. As I headed into
Sunday after the Asia run I was still feeling it possible. But with 10M
dead still at 14Z and 15M going absolutely nowhere, it was quickly apparent
that it was not going to be in the cards.
So I settled on just shy of 12 Million. Nothing wrong with that.
See you in the CW version.
