Comments:
This one went really well until Sunday evening, when qrn basically shut me down.
Checking after the contest, there was a line of thunderstorms to the west of
here, which should arrive here monday.
Saturday went well, 80 and 40 were really good. I finished Saturday with 60
more qso's than last year, so I thought 1200 qso's might be possible. But I
knew the other western and southern A-stations (K7BG, K0EU, ...) would run away
on the high bands unless I had propagation to W1/W2/W3 and W8/W9 on two bands. I
can work W1/W2/W3 from here on 20m, but usually not W8/W9 on 20m, so that
requires 80 in addition to 40.
I made my first ever qso on 160 in the "activity hour". Too bad it wasn't
scheduled for saturday!
Missed VE4. Never heard one. Propagation seemed ok, as I worked two NT's and a
bunch of VE5's and VE6's.
