Comments:
Entered in the SOHP category (no cluster/internet or skimmer). Condx
Friday evening were marginal to EU and never opened up well even during EU SR.
Did manage a few mults but the total number of 10 point Q’s was depressing!
There was excellent activity within NA so a good Q count, even with the low
point value, was added to the log. Had a line of rain move through in the night
that generated some QRN, causing minor RX difficulty with some weak callers.
Saturday evening was another high activity night although a lot of the same
folks. EU condx were very gud just after SS here in Arkansas but went flat
around 0230z. During EU SR, however, sigs were excellent and I was able to add a
good number of 10 point Q’s as well as a few new mults to the lot.
My total QSO count this year is around 150 higher than last year but my DX mult
count is lower by 15. Was able to work all states except Alaska and all VE
provinces except LB, NT, NU and YT.
