Comments:
Wow. When the contest started I thought 5 million would be a big score, but
conditions (and activity) were amazing. Glad I have this contest recorded
because there are parts of it I will want to listen to so I can make sure I
wasn't hallucinating!
As always, the contest is so big there are stations that I just can't find.
Never heard a KL7 until last 30 mins of the contest, then worked two of them.
Only heard 9Y4AA the 3 times when I worked him on 20,15, and 10. Never anywhere
else. When I work all the other Carribbean guys on 4 or 5 bands, weird that one
like that gets away. Missed V31TM on 10 and 15. How does that happen?! Never
heard UA9AYA on 40m, then see he made a huge score there. Worked 8Q7DV on 80
and 20, but never heard them anywhere else. That is what makes this contest so
cool - and why the scores keep getting bigger.
The audio recording will be on-line within the next week or so. There are some
excellent low band runs with once in a lifetime clear frequency, low low noise,
and high rate. Also lots of SO2R examples where I was messing up 2 QSOs at the
same time.
For the packet guys, stations that identify with "TU" may be OK. But for a
single op, I would have to wait until they decided to send their call. In some
cases this took some badgering. Packet enables these guys to run and run
without having to identify because there is always a string of callers.
Frustrating at times. Otherwise, I thought the overall calliber of operating
was pretty good.
Slept 45 mins the first night because my back was killing me. Felt much better
after that. Slept 90 minutes the second night - not because I was sleepy then
but because I wanted to be fully alert when the high band rates were
happening.
My motivation to get through this contest was that it would be my last full out
48 hour single op effort. Although I will probably forget that pledge when next
November rolls around...
