Soapbox:
I was on for the whole contest except for my off period Saturday night for
sleep.
Best DX was Bob N7AU in DN07 on 2M & 135cm. (TNX BOB!) We couldn't hear each
other on 6M & 70cm as we have in past contests. Normally Bob and I can sweep
6M-70cm. The only other DX was Mark W7MEM in DN17 on 2M & 135cm.
On Saturday I spent slightly over 6 hours calling CQ on FSK441 toward known
population centers with no replies heard. Spent less time with this mode on
Sunday with no replies. After the contest ran with K1VOW in DM25 and
completed easily on 2M.
No rovers in this area. Thanks goodness for locals on FM.
Generally speaking, condx were worse than last year from here.
73 es cu in June!
Bob N7CZ
