Comments:
This contest started off great. I was S&P for the first few minutes until I
found a place to run. I had the rate meter in triple digits for most of the
first hour. The first hour I had around 95, which for me is probably a
personal best. I run low power to a stealth wire in a condo here. The band
was quiet and there was a lot of activity. I did notice that although my Q
rate was running maybe 10% or more higher than previous years, my mults were
down. I eventually caught up, but I was lacking a lot of DX. I heard many EU
stations that just could not hear us. Now, being LP with a stealth antenna
doesn't say much, but I recall trying to work a station when KC1XX was. The DX
didn't even hear KC1XX and when they did, had to ask for several fills. All
along, they were at least an S6 or 7 here. I heard a lot more than I could
work. But I did get a new country on 160, CE, thanks! Back here in the
states, I missed three states - NE, KL7, and KH6, as well as a few VE provinces
that are usually easy, such as SK. Not sure where they were, but never heard
them. I always have a problem with NE. I also had other distractions which
kept me out of the seat too long.
