That was not good at all. By far my worst Canada Day outing since 2005. A very
weak Wednesday evening start extended through Thursday here. Qs were down on
all bands, and off by more than 180 total. Got about 8 hours in the chair but
mostly in short sessions. Had many, many 10-minute CQs before getting any
callers, and only occasionally put together two back-to-back Qs.
F5IN was loud here on 20M early Saturday morning, even off the side. Not alot
of other EU callers, but with A=17 I didn't expect many. Scott VE1OP was
definitely the loudest heard from the far East when he called in Saturday.
Entirely missed NU, NT and SK.
80M was a wasteland when I was there Friday night. Just 18 for 3 mults (52 for
7 last year, 27 for 7 in 2008, 19 for 4 in 2007, 30 for 5 in 2006).
15M didn't open other than a pipeline to W6 from VE7. Nothing heard from
anywhere else.
Special thanks to the stations calling in with low serial numbers in the final
few hours. Everyone appreciates the contacts.
Wonder where the RAC stations were on CW? Worked just three: VE1, VO2 and VY2.
2-pointers 204
10-pointers 84
20-pointers 4 (3 on 20M, 1 on 40M)
Not as much fun for me as previous years, but this contest is always worth
working, especially for the friendly hellos.
