Comments:
Old (like me) alarm clock let me down .... took a two hour break
early Sunday AM and woke up six hours later! Sad as it cost me
some prime low band time! Needless to say I had no troubloe staying
awake the rest of the test!!
High band cndx really headed down as we move into the next cycle.
Very little EU on 10 and 15m. Difficult to work second and third tier
stations on these bands with disturbed polar cndx from the NW.
Glad JA's show up and are so workable from the left coast .... cuz
without them it would really be a long weekend .... 600 worked on all
bands except 160m. Not a single 160 JA heard from my Qth. No prop
I assume. Years past I cud count on 50 to 100 JA's on 160 !
Pet peeve: Hoshots that don't give their CALLS OFTEN enuf! Notable execptions,
CN2R, ZD8A, PT5A ...... Great fun as always. You never know
what the propagation GODS are gonna give you until the test is on .....
every year its different..... and that's of part what makes the game so
fascinating and fun!
If I could do it over again I would opt for a single band 40.
That band really produced for me even with the over sleep.
Wish this contest had a low band entry class ie. 40-80-160m.
Whatsay, Mr. Cox?
