Comments:
Propagation is inevitably going down and this was a glimpse into the years
ahead. 10m almost totally closed except for some local guys and brief opening
to VU/VK/9M2/YB direction.
15m was struggling but Saturday saved me by providing a few hours of nice
morning JA and afternoon US runs. 8x5 H frame was much much superior in those
conditions to the 4xJP2000 stack bringing several inaudible stations to arm
chair copy. On Sunday even the H frame did not help. Very few JA and only a
handful of southern US.
40m was hopeless. Only the strongest US stations were barely audible during the
dark hours. When K3ZO sat on my frequency 1 hour into the contest and started
CQing I knew I can cross 40m off. So I took most of my break time in the dark
hours and that proved to be correct decision. On both mornings someone flipped
the switch exactly at sunrise and I could run US for 1 hour. Those were the
most fruitful hours of the contest.
80 and 160 are nothing to talk about. EU only.
So 20M was the only money band providing surpisingly long US propagation both
days, till ca 21z. But no night time.
It was clear it is impossible to match the southern guys in those conditions.
Conrgatulations to Braco and Dave. Exciting race! So I was mostly running
against Kim from OH0X and was actually a bit surprised I could build a solid
lead after he was doing well in the beginning on low bands with dual CQing. 15m
surely helped me here. Also I suspect Kim may have wasted too much of his
operating hours on useless 40m at night when I was sleeping.
It is refreshing indeed to see the explosion of entrants from several Asian
countries. Balance shifting from US to AS is certainly a very good thing for us
here in Eastern EU. Just to compare the QSO figures to some countries from my
operation in 2011:
4X 1 > 22
9M2 1 > 12
BY 40 > 55
DU 4 > 11
HS 9 > 28
SV 19 > 47
TA 4 > 30
VU 3 > 48
YB 20 > 69
Some quite shocking increases here. Especially VU, YB, TA. SV is only one lost
among Asians. YB, VU, HS, DU, BY and 9M yielded about the some QSO total as JA!
Add VKs and some others here and soon this direction is already more important
than JA/HL 50-60 degrees!
Some other very nice and surprising DXes were calling in with small QSO numbers
like:
3DA0NJ x 2
2 4S stations
5V7D
5Z4/TA1HZ
9J2BO
A22LL
EP2C and EP2LSD (wow)
FK8CE
H44MS
KG6JDX from Guam
OA4CN
T32AZ
African stations seem to be especially neglected in this contest. We have the
luck of having to beam south from nothern EU during the day when US has not
opened and thus attracting some attention down there. It is especially nice and
somewhat surreal having those far away ZS guys calling in seemingly lost and not
really following what is going on. Mostly just hending out 001s and wanting to
say hallo.
I also wanted to congratulate Bob, KQ2M, for excellent band opening signals on
15 and 20. Clearly the strongest from US with 59+40 on 15m when the band was
just about to open.
Work Toivo, ES2RR (ES5RR) in the CW leg of WPX in May!
