Comments:
Our goal was 8500 Q's. Using two stations for 48 hours this doesn't seem
that hard but it does require ten meters to be open all day. It also requires
the low bands to take over when 20 dies to the east in the evening but they
were not that good at times and occasionally the rate was very low. Topband
was very painful and I tuned it myself from sunset to sunrise with few Q's
to show for it.
These are the conditions we want for the WPX. High bands open all day to
USA and then all night to Europe. Europe was pounding in on ten meters all
night and I'm convinced it would have been a great score for the ARRL Ten
meter contest. I know, I know, can't think that way but still. Even so we
stayed very busy with these excellent high band conditions and had many
400-500 Q's per hour in the log. We also passed everyone and thanks for
moving for us. Actually the real contesters work us on all bands anyway but
we also work a lot of DXers or casual ops in this event.
The tag team was usually KA1NCN, Dave and Kris, AL2F. Wigi, AL7IF
and Jeff, KL2HD switching every hour. I did the normal mop floor, make
food, work topband for no Q's but I'm good at that.
