Tried the IARU for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it!
The 24 hr. format assures some balance for the operator and
should be looked into for other contests!
My goal in this contest was to try out the new stack of C3
antennas. The performance was most satisfactory! All of
the other antennas are on the ground as I am doing my first
re-build of the station this summer..
I was really surprised with the conditions on both 10 and 15
as I was able to generate Eu runs with ease on each band. I
believe the 10 and 15 meter bands were open much longer than most
people expected as both have been showing life for a couple
of weeks now!...It was very nice to have Eu runs on 15 ...even
deep Europeans were available , not the Work All IK0 type
of opening.
Had my best hour on 15 on Sat. AM and the regular time for a
15 meter opening. Had an hour into Eu of 175, combining both
phone and CW.
20 was predictalbly good very late at night and produced good
results, even though I was not interested in 20 too much.
Now I need to get to work and get all the aluminum and tower
sections into the air that now reside on the ground!
Only operated 10/25/20 and results follow:

20 meters 370 23 8

seems to be some interest in the ID's of the HQ stations which were on in
this year's contest, here is my list of those worked. Mine was a CW-only
entry so if some HQ operation was only on SSB you won't find it here:

Since IARU isn't a major event, perhaps a neophyte such as myself can
handle compiling the high claimed scores. Then maybe I can graduate to
something a bit more substantial - like one of those big state QSO parties
or something...
Post 'em here or to me direct. At present, I need NG3K's score & W9SZ's
entry category. First list goes out later this week.
