Thanks to Ted, KT1V for letting me invade his fine station. I forgot the CQWW
rule about callsign usage, so for the first three hours I used KT1V and had to
scrap that log and switch to my call. Painful lesson learned. Ted was doing
80m Single Band. I almost packed it in but K1DG (15m op at KC1XX) convinced me
to keep going.
Conditions were great, if a bit weird. We didn't have the extensive and long
openings we had back in '99 but it was still good. JA was nonexistent Friday
night (expect JA5BJC on scatter path when I was using the wrong callsign). JA
sort of OK on Saturday and Sunday but the opening didn't last long more than an
hour or two, at most. It only lasted about an hour on Sunday night. In '99 I
think we had hours of JA! I was doing 15m at KC1XX that year and I walked away
from it thinking that it just doesn't get any better than that!
Lots of new activity out of Europe (especially the U.K. and Germany) with all
the new licensees...wow! There continues to be an almost endless supply of
European continent stations in this contest...hopefully something that will
continue for a long time.
Thanks for all the Qs, see you all in CW, the really fun mode.
