Comments:
The contest went so-so. Conditions were pretty rotten. I was still awake at
midnight when I shut down for the night, but the noise on 80 was horrible, I
was having trouble finding new stations on 40, I decided to get some shut-eye.
After listening to 80, I didnâ??t even try 160, perhaps I should have, just for
the fun of it. Maybe if I had stayed up through the night I would have had
better luck to the west, Iâ??ll have to â??tough it outâ?? next time.
I worked very little EU, and paths over the pole were almost non-existent. No
JA or SE Asia in the log. I did get a few VK/ZL stations and Hawaii, but that
was about it from the Pacific.
I did get some stations on 15 meters, and even 10 meters showed up for a little
bit.
For evidence of the bad conditions, I compared my score this year to the score
the last time I put a full effort into IARU, in 2006. That year, I had 783
contacts, 2271 contact points and 159 multipliers for a total score of 361,089.
My points per QSO that year was 2.90, this year it was 2.46. Terrible
conditions.
To add salt to the wound, I worked exactly *no* new countries or zones in IARU
for the CQ DX Marathon...:-(
