Soapbox: Conditions were too good. Even though we had 11 operators,
we planned to not operate from 2-5AM thinking that there would not
be anybody to work. As it turns out, the bands seemed to improve
as it got later. In fact, 3AM Sunday morning was better than many of
the day time hours. Who could imagine 35 QSOs on 20 meters at 3 in
the morning?
Propagation was long. On the first day we worked 165 QSOs on 10M.
At the same time, we had captured only 14 total states and provinces!
Of the 11 operators, I believe 4 were introduced to RTTY contesting
in this contest. I think a couple may be hooked. Look for their calls
in upcoming RTTY contests.
Thanks to everybody for all the contacts.
73, Bruce WT4I
