That was fun !
The lower sunspot numbers caused the high bands to close earlier than last
year, but it will only be worse in the next few years :)
10 was great for the first hour, then completely shut down. I was afraid 15
would do the same in the next hour, but to my surprise, it was excellent for
several more hours. I didn't take my first time-off until I had almost 600
QSO's in the log.
20 seemed good, but for some reason the multipliers just weren't there. I even
missed New Mexico ! Lots more mults on 40, despite fewer QSO's. Hmmmm.
80 and even 160 were excellent for the 2 hours I scrambled to work those two
bands. It's unusual for me to say anything good about 160 :)
Retired the ancient Celeron D computer on Wednesday. Was very happy the new
(but 5 year old, refurbished) Xeon box worked perfectly for the contest.
Thanks for all the QSO's. Too bad I had to think about recent SK's KL7RA, N7OU
and N0IM so often.
