Comments:
I really wanted to work this contest, but familial obligations limited my
participation. They also prevented me from attending an FRC meeting which I
also really wanted to attend.
I got the station set-up the night before, and had a good run of Russian
stations including RA3RCL, UX3HX, UA4LU, and EU7SA on 15m and RA3RCL again on
17m. I thought this would bode well for the contest the next morning.
When I did start operating at 6:00 am the next morning, I expected to find
Europe booming in on 10m. Unfortunately, I found a dead band. A check of 15m
and 20m yielded the same - very little activity. I managed to work only three
stations in that first hour.
I operated on-and-off for the entire contest. Ten meters never did open up,
which was sad because Ten is the bread-and-butter for small stations like mine.
I slugged it out and managed a few contacts here and there. I was upset that I
missed P3F on 15m on Saturday afternoon - that would have been another
multiplier. It turns out that 20m on Saturday evening was my best band.
Oh well, it was fun anyway. I pray that conditions are better for the IARU in
July.
