Comments:
This has always been a favorite contest, the QTC format is great. Someday
the sunspots will come back and it will be fun again from W7 :)
I was going to use one of the three RHR Maine stations like I have done the
last few years but at the starting gate none was ready for a big contest
effort. It is summer rebuilding time up there.
Thanks to Ray W2RE and Lee WW2DX for the 3 DX stations available via RHR.
HH2AA, homecall/KP4, and the new 9A/homecall.
I don't know much about the 9A station, it is a single 100' rotating tower
with monobanders on 10-40. A 4-square on 80. A Flex radio and ACOM amp in
a small shed at the base of the tower.
When I signed into the RHR website just before the contest I was only planning
on running for a few hours on whatever other stations weren't
taken, I assumed the 9A setup was reserved for the contest.
There it was available 30 minutes before the test (when reserved a station
is locked out on the website control panel an hour before the start)
I quickly grabbed it and started looking through the N1MM docs for how to
work WAE from EU. Set the bandmap skimmers to EU and try to figure out a
strategy :)
I know nothing about contesting from EU, but any idea of a plan fell apart
after a glance at the starting 80M band map. Packed with CQing stations
from zones 17/18/19/20/21/22/24. I chased DX for the first 18 hours, then
spent the next 18 hours begging for QTC's :)
9A/KO7SS is not a good call to chase Asian DX in pile ups.
Thanks everyone for all the QTC's!
