Comments:
Casual operating from modest home station to see how things were this
year...1632Z-1846Z, 2100Z-2120Z, then 0215Z-0700Z, while binge watching Danish
TV with subtitles.
Breakdown was 97 FT4 and 41 FT8. Somewhat more variety of mults on FT8, but
waiting for it reminds me of a trip to the DMV. Rotated between bands and
modes, occasionally going to the non-contest watering hole when things got slow.
Considered setting up another computer for SO2R, but there was zero activity on
15, I really only have SO2R capability on 20/40, and I got sucked into the KS
QSO party vortex. Didn't feel like staying up all night, so that was all,
folks.
General impression is that people didn't spread out enough. Activity was decent
and included a lot of well-known contesters. Not much EU when I was operating,
though saw a few W7s working them. Was pleased to work several HS's on 20m at
mid-day.
I still wish a new digital mode could be designed specifically with contesting
in mind, preferably without fixed time slots.
