Comments:
Thanks for the Q's and another fun RTTY contest!
Lots of signals, very crowded sub-bands and, in a few cases, too many calling
on the same frequency. To my surprise even 15M was good but, unfortunately, as
expected 10M was non-existent here. I kept seeing a few RTTY skimmer 10M spots
and occasionally checked but never heard a diddle. 40M was good to me even
while dealing with a lot of snow static. I need a better 80M antenna... that's
my story and I'm sticking with it!
Didn't meet my rate goals but I was probably way too ambitious given my station
and skill. Only had 4 clock hours with over 50 Q's and I had hoped for way
better than that. Since I operate SO1R, I kept forcing myself to move around
more than I usually do, trying not to get sucked into the hope that my marginal
run would get better if only I stayed with it. I still need to improve on that.
Oh... and I took my licking but tried to keep on ticking as I was stepped on
and squeezed out of my run frequency quite a few time. While this is all part
of the game, it was tough to swallow as I was working stations in the same
country as the stations jumping on me... hard to chalk that up to changing band
conditions.
Had 953 unique calls in the log, only 7 dupes wanted to work me, and I worked
4-band QSOs with 9A1A, DP7D, GW0A, P49X, S51A. DL won the "World
Cup" here with 108 Q's followed by I - 78, EA - 53, VE - 41 and G - 33
Q's.
73!
