Comments:
This was another last minute remote operating of NX6T's STN-1 @
"NashVille"
from my office in the SF Bay area after my client work was finished @22:00z.
20 meters started off reasonably well, but 15 meters never happened.
When I switched to 40-meters the QRN was nearly S-8 and later just as bad on
80.
Most of the AQP stations also seemed to be experiencing a lot of noise,
so I guess it was a contest-wide phenomenon, not just in Alameda.
My beef this year was that many stations just signed as /M (mobile), instead
of using their county abbreviation in the callsign which would then allow
the skimmers to put their callsign properly in the bandmap. That caused us to
"wait around" to discover if they were a new mult or not.
Kudos to all of the mobile stations that activated NUMEROUS counties.
