Comments:
I had a total blast today. I missed my goal of 500 QSO's however I did break my
best score so all is good. 10 meters seamed to be open however no one was
really there but 2 locals and a YN that was really loud. 15 meters was so so.
East and west coasts were pretty easy to work on 1 call however the middle was
very weak. 20 Meters was pretty good till about 2330z when every bailed out
for 40 meters like some one popped a can of CS gas. 40 meters was in good
shape from about 00z till 03z when it started to die. 80 meters was like a zoo.
Being cramped in to 25 khz made it hard to find a place to run. I tried
several times to establish a run and could find no takers. S&P fared OK
however beyond some 6's and 9's locals we only to be worked. I am sure this is
my antenna as the GAP Titan does not radiate well on 80 meters.
Something that did work well was Call Stacking. I finally have the hang of it
now and used it several times to run 3 or 4 stations in a row. I can cut
through a small pile up like a hot knife thru butter. This will really come in
handy when I head to KP2 in September:).
